“By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.” Hebrews 11:8

Members and Friends of St. Paul’s,

I have heard of people traveling but not planning any sort of itinerary. While this kind of traveling sounds intriguing, I’m not sure its for me. Abraham was called by God to go to a new land, but he literally did not know where he was going. While he was promised a new land the fact is the only land he could claim in Israel was a burial plot for his wife Sarah. Once the gracious Lord entered his life through his gracious promises, Abraham walked by faith and not by sight. He was one of those who died in the faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that he was a stranger and exile on the earth.” (Hebrews 11:13). As you look at the challenges in front of you, and all you have are the promises of Christ, note that you are in good company. See you in church 😊

Yours in Christ,

Pastor
