Hurry, let’s get packed! “Is my blue shirt clean?” “Mom, I’m out of make-up wipes!” “Honey, did you pay the electric bill?” Road trips. They can be exciting, but the prep time that goes into them can be exhausting. However, the destination makes the hassle worth it as you look forward to some relaxation time or seeing loved ones that are eagerly awaiting your arrival. But what if you were told to hit the road with no destination in mind? What if you were told to leave everything that was familiar and head out into the unknown? You have zero facts about the trip. Would you go? I have no doubt that there are those that would. However, I don’t leave the house until I have ALL the details down to the temperature at 5:03 pm the next day.
“So Abraham went, as the Lord had told him…” Genesis 12:4 (ESV)
What? He just left? He didn’t ask why, where, or how? Nope. He went. I’m not sure I can even make it to the grocery store without a list! What makes a man pick up his entire household and go?…. Faith.
Where does your faith lead you? Does it lead you to face “giants” as David did? (I Samuel 17:48-49) Does it allow you to speak boldly like Esther? (Esther 4:16) Or does it give you a spirit of perseverance like Job? (James 5:11) If your faith could use some bolstering, then take some time to read about the “Road to Emmaus” in Luke 24:13-35. Take a road trip with the Lord.
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 (ESV)
