By faith Abraham, when he was called
to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed’
Heb 11:8 (KJV)
Wither he went, he knew not; it was enough for him to know that he went
with God. He leant not so much upon the promises as upon the Promiser. He
looked not on the difficulties of his lot, but on the King, eternal, immortal,
invisible, the only wise God, who had designed to appoint his course, and would
certainly vindicate Himself. O glorious faith! This is thy work, these are thy
possibilities: contentment to sail with sealed orders, because of unwavering
confidence in the love and wisdom of the Lord High Admiral: willinghood to rise
up, leave all, and follow Christ, because of the glad assurance that earth’s
best cannot bear comparison with heaven’s least. –F.B. Meyer
