“Now the Lord said to Abram, ‘Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.'”
What a promise and a test of faith that the Lord gave Abram. He called him to leave everything he had ever known, but still gave him a promise of great abundance and blessing. Father, You assured Abram that if he left it all behind that You would provide for him and bless him beyond measure. You promised him that You would make his name great and make him a great nation, raising him up as a blessing to all the families of the earth. Lord, I desire the promise of provision and blessing that You gave Abram. Allow me to go from my country and show me the land that You have for me. I am willing, I am eager, and I will go. Let me give extravagantly of all that You have blessed me with, for I can never out give You. Convict me to give more and live on less because when I have You nothing else has significance or worth. My value is found in You, for You are my portion and my blessing. And when I am blessed by You may it be an opportunity to bless others. The name and the nation I do not care, but the blessing is what I desire.
