Don’t you wish God would show you exactly where you’ll be
tomorrow?  I’d be lots happier knowing
what was coming rather than stepping out on faith. Take poor Abraham, for
instance. I’ll give you the Texas version:

 

Abraham’s happily doing his thing when God says, “Dude, I
got a nice place picked out for you so pack up all your stuff and come
on.” 

Never you mind, I got it all taken care of.”

 

Sound familiar? You’re doing just fine when God suddenly
walks in and says, “Follow me—trust Me on the where and why.” Kind of like when
He said to me, “I’ve got a nice place for you in west Texas—follow Me.” Did
Abraham have to work through the rebellion I felt?

We want to know upfront—who, what, when, where, and why. God
chooses to give just a glimmer of light, like at sunrise. Just enough to see
the first step. As we walk, the light slowly brightens until we can see His
plan.

 

 

God works on a “need to know” basis. We can’t “google” Him
and see what’s coming. Maybe that’s a good thing.

When has God interrupted your life saying “Follow Me.”?

What emotions did you feel? Is He growing your faith?
