nstruction comes,
"Get thee out of your country,
and from your kindred,
and from your father's house,
unto a land that I will show you."

To leave your comfort zone
With all it's confortability.
To an unnamed land
To an unknown place.

But the Promises come:
"And I will make of you a great nation,";
In an unknown place,
"and I will bless you,"
In an unnamed land;

"and make your name great;"
In an unknown place,
"and you shall be a blessing."
In an unnamed land.

"And I will bless them that bless you,"
In an unnknown place
"and curse him that curses you."
In an unnamed land.

"and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed."
All these in an unknown place;
And in an unnamed land.

To claim the Promises calls for action,
Not for rumination
That will provide for flesh;
Nor for debate to distort.

So, Abram departs,
As the LORD had spoken to him;
And he reaped the rewards.
With Faith and action.

As Abraham did,
Follow same for rewards!
Claim all promises by Faith
Coupled with action!
And you shall rejoice.
