Whenever God calls you to do something, you must leave behind something that’s precious to you.
True faith is letting go of your treasure, giving up control of your life by trusting God through uncertainty.
As humanity was trying desperately to make a name for themselves (Tower of Babel), God’s Plan was unfolding through the call of an unlikely character.
- Listen to Abraham: Costly Faith (Genesis 12-25)1
Abraham was called from his pagan homeland to follow the one true God, a venture of faith full of uncertainty. It cost him everything yet he gained everything as a reward, as God’s friend. | Genesis 12:1-9; Hebrews 11:8-9
