Geronimo

You are next, but your knees are shaking and you want to turn back and then suddenly you find yourself being pushed over the edge into the unknown! Wow, its a long, long way to the bottom. Ever felt like that? I mean, its not just about going off ledges, is it? When you get married, buy a house, have kids, have GRAND KIDS, something changes in you.... you become someone new, something changes. All these things can be tough, but if God is with you, then somehow, someway, you just KNOW things are going to be OK!!! I like the story of Abram because of what he did; HE LISTENED AND OBEYED!

Gen 12:1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, "Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.
Gen 12:2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
Gen 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. In you will all of the families of the earth be blessed."
Gen 12:4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Gen 12:5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls whom they had gotten in Haran, and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan. Into the land of Canaan they came. The World English Bible
Its easy to do things when you are young, strong and perhaps a bit naive, but for Abram (later Abraham) to do this is a object lesson for us all; when The Word of God comes to us, perhaps the thing to do is to just obey! Your turn is next.... Geronimo
