Advent Devotional #3: Abram

As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Messiah, we’re going to walk day-by-day through profiles of folks who were winners on a large scale. The next step on our Journey towards Christmas is in Genesis Chapter 12.


The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram went, as the LORD had told him;

Once again, we have a visit with a very familiar Biblical Character, and a very familiar Bible Story. But, think about this? How willing are we to pick up and go when/if we hear God calling us to do? How in tune are we with the voice of God to know when He calls? Couldn't we win more and in bigger/better ways, if we simply went when God said to go, and let God's plan develop, and didn't worry about all the details of what happens after we go? Let's listen for God's call, be ready for it, and most importantly, answer it. That way, we can produce more, and better, wins. Every day.
