"Knowing Who is More Important Than Knowing Where"

"Now the Lord said unto Abram, 'Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee'."  Genesis 12:1

God told Abram to move but He didn't tell him where he was going.  He just told him to get up and leave from where he was.  Pretty scary.  It's one thing to move and you know where you are going, but it's an entirely different matter when you are told to move but you don't know where to.  

There are times in our lives when God tells us to move because He wants to take us from one place in the spirit to another.  He wants to take us to a higher level (from glory to glory), but we don't always know where that place is.  All we know is that God said, "Move".  In other words, He wants to change something in us.  This can be pretty scary, too. 

The thing that caused Abram to obey was the fact of "Who" it was that was telling him to move.  He knew Who had told him to go so he went.  Why?  Because he knew that the One Who told him to go was trustworthy and faithful.  "Knowing Who" told him to go was more important than "knowing where" to go.  

If God is leading you somewhere but your understanding is darkened and you don't know exactly where you are going, don't worry as long as you know Who is leading you, you can rest assured that it is in your best interest and for your good.  God will never lead you astray.

Have a great day.  You can trust in Who is leading you even when you don't know where you are going.
