So Abram departed, as the LORD had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. — Gen 12:4 BSB

That was true faith. Abram didn’t know where he was going; he only had God’s call and promise. But he didn’t ask any questions. He didn’t demand to know how the journey would end, how successful it would be, or what he would get in return for the land he was leaving and the sacrifices he was making. Without hesitation, he broke the ties to his old home and set out.

That’s the kind of faith we should all have when God gives us a call and a promise. Some people want to know exactly where they’re headed before they commit to following Christ, but that’s not faith at all.

We shouldn’t worry about where God is leading us, as long as we know He is the one guiding us. His direction is always safe, and we should be willing to trust Him completely, doing exactly what He says and going wherever He leads, without needing all the answers upfront. Abraham’s life is an example of what it means to truly walk with God.
