Found Faithful

Found Faithful

Abram, later Abraham, was called of God to separate from his land, home and family and to follow God to a new living way.  He was found faithful in that he obeyed.

Our question as Christians is not are we religious but are we true followers?  There are many roads in life and many seem to be the right road, but that was never the question with God.  The question has always been: will you leave all and follow Me?  

Abraham left father and mother and struck out in search of a city with foundation.   He never found that city in his mortal life but that did not deter his determination to be a follower of God.  He was found faithful.

We live in an age of the "lukewarms",  where following is never the question but where sitting more accurately describes us.   Our lives should not be consumed with brick and mortar but with a Living Experience of God.  

As Don Williams said in one of his songs:  I dont believe that God waits only for those who congregate.

Let us leave off the traditions of our fathers (leave father and mother and lands) and follow the Spiritual leading of God in the the Land of Promise (the Spirit-led life). 

Be blessed, Billy and Jan
