Everyone of us come from a family that has brokenness. When the LORD
asks us to follow Him the journey often starts with very small steps of
faith. He calls us to move in order get us unstuck from our comfortable
lives into His greater future. And along the way we often end up more
broken, more in need of His grace than ever before.
Outline:
Nobody’s family is perfect: Since we are all human beings permanently
marred by sin, even the best families raise imperfect humans.
Sometimes faith starts with small steps: We often don’t get to see too
far into the future. The LORD gives us just a glimpse beyond our nose,
and then He asks us to trust Him with the rest.
The LORD accepts us where we are in order to move us to where He wants
us to be: Abraham is called to do something very few people on the
planet would be willing to do. And yet, because of his history with the
LORD’s faithfulness, he steps out and trusts, even when it doesn’t seem
to make sense.
The the LORD touches us it often leaves us more broken than before the
touch: Encounters with the Living God will change us. The best changes
are those that remind us repeatedly of our own brokenness and of His
greatness.
Reflection:
What is the step the LORD has been asking you to take that you have
hesitated to take? What is preventing you from being obedient?
