Change is inevitable, and it’s often uncomfortable. Abraham’s journey is a powerful reminder of the courage it takes to embrace the unknown (Genesis 12).
When God called Abraham to leave his home and go to a land He would show him, Abraham didn’t have all the details, but he trusted God’s promise. In today’s busy world, we are often required to adapt quickly, whether in our personal lives or businesses.
The fear of the unknown can be paralyzing, but like Abraham and other Heroes of Faith (Hebrews 11), we are called to walk by faith and not by sight. Their faithful stories teach us to trust God to guide us each step of the way.
Every change, big or small, has a divine purpose. Consider your current challenges such as a new job or career path, shifts in relationships or friendships, the unforeseen health changes or the uncertainty about the future.
Rather than resisting, doubting and staying idle, see these changes as opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Each transition brings new dimensions of understanding, unforeseen opportunities and strengthening of faith. This week, reflect on a change you’ve been avoiding. Take a step of faith:
1. Ask God for a sign or confirmation.
2. Seek strength to embrace the unknown.
3. Trust that God is guiding you toward something greater.
