From the book “Mornings with Tozer: Daily Devotional Readings” by A.W. Tozer

The Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country.…So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him. - Genesis 12:1,4

People have many different ideas about the most important moment of their lives on this earth. We know of many who have testified to the great importance of their own spiritual decision—the act of faith whereby they committed themselves and their entire futures to God!

I believe the Bible makes it plain that the single most critical, most important time in the life of Abraham was when he heard and answered the call of God. Unexpectedly and dramatically, God revealed Himself to Abraham and called him to be a pilgrim. It is a lesson to us that when Abraham was called, he by faith obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for Abraham’s example: He heard Your voice, and he obeyed. May it be so in my life as well, Lord.
