Genesis 12:1-3

The Call of Abram
1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”
Abram experienced immense change through his encounters with God. God asked for a complete overhaul of Abram’s career, dreams, destiny. God even changed his name from Abram to Abraham to signify the depth of this change.
How could Abram deal with all this change? Very simply, he believed the Lord. Abraham believed in the Lord and that security allowed him to pursue revolutionary change. The Christian life is an ongoing process of change … taking off the old man … becoming a new creation … becoming Christlike.
Change is doable when you have a Solid Rock for a foundation!
