Chosen To Follow God

Genesis 12:4-5 – So Abram left, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran. He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Caanan, and they arrived there.

God chose Abraham to follow Him into a fulfilling destiny. God uprooted Abraham from his familiar surroundings and removed him from his family and friends to train him for his destiny. Abraham’s destiny required total dependence on God for its fulfillment. Although this move was difficult, Abraham believed he heard the voice of God and moved out in faith.

Believe, when you hear the voice of God, and move out in faith. Hearing God’s voice is the key to your step of faith. No one can accurately tell you what God is saying about your destiny – only the all-knowing God can reveal this. Others may confirm that God is speaking to you, but you must hear Him for yourself and act on His leading

God has chosen you to follow Him and His path for your life. When you understand that your steps are ordered of God, you will have the courage to step out in faith to fulfill all that He has in store for you.

God orders your steps – you have to make a step toward your destiny so God can align you on the path that will lead you to a life of fullness and a life overflowing with His abundant blessings.

Choose to closely follow God, and watch how He will amaze you and others with His perfect plan for your life.

Ponder and mediate on this:

How do I leave all and totally follow God?
