Abraham was not great before his call; he became great after his call. A nobody became somebody because he heard and obeyed God’s call. He became great because he lived out this call. God takes nothing and makes something out of it. He takes us who have no future without Him and gives us a future. He makes us a blessing beyond what we could have ever expected. Purpose and potential is found in following God’s invitation to walk with Him. This always involves being a blessing to someone else.
“The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.” (Genesis 12:1–2 NLT).
