Hebrews 11:8 (KJV) By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

Abraham answered the call of God to go out of the Ur of the Chaldees to a place unknown to him. Though he did not know whither he went, in obedience he went. It was by faith in the Word of God that Abraham that he acted.

The place that he would be led to inhabit would be the place given to his descendants as their inheritance. Because Abraham went, there was an inheritance for his posterity. He was counted faithful.

The uncertainty of where he was going did not bother him to stop him from going rather the certainty of God’s command beckons him to act. We should do so likewise. Amen.
