Many of us miss God’s purpose for their life because they are waiting for details about what He has in mind. But nowhere does Scripture say that God is obliged to spell out His plan. If He does have something for us to do, His only duty is to show us how and to enable us to do it. If we don’t know the details, our walk with the Lord can appear bewildering. Abram ( later Abraham ) must have felt that way. When God ordered him to pack up and head to a place he’d never been before, the wannabe patriarch potentially marvelled, Lord, why can’t you simply bless me here in Haran?

But God had something bigger in mind than Abram could envision. Feelings, sight, and human reasoning can be awful enemies to our walk of religion. So we might demonstrate religion and rely on Him, God occasionally calls us to a place where feelings, physical vision, and logic are of no help. The Lord wants us, as followers in Jesus Christ, to lay down our own techniques of figuring things out, and to trust Him instead. Which will sound irrational in human terms, but it is totally reasonable in the infinite mind of complete data and knowledge. If you are almost convinced to favor your own logical solution, remember that God is watching from a view point of omniscience. ( Isaiah 55:8-9 ) Like Abram, select to follow the Lord’s instructions.
( Genesis 12:4 ) A step of obedience may feel just like blind religion, but you can completely trust the person that sees all.
