So Abram left, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran. Genesis 12:4
Up until this point, Abram’s journey with his family had been easy. All they had done thus far (almost without thinking) was follow the Euphrates river and one of her tributaries hundreds and hundreds of miles to Haran. But now as he sets off for “the land [God] will show [him]” (Genesis 12:1) there is no river to follow.
Journeying with God requires stepping out into the unknown trusting that God will show you the way.
