Abraham grew up among people who worshiped other gods. But the Lord called to Abraham and
said, "Leave your country and your kindred and your father's house for a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will
bless you..." Abraham
listened to God. As hard as
it was to leave his parents' home, he packed up his tent and his belongings
and went where God led him.
Abraham spent much of his long life wondering how he could be the
promised father of a great nation because he and his wife Sarah didn't have any
children, but he kept on trusting in God's promise that his descendents would
be as many as the stars in heaven.
Genesis 12:1-4a and 1:1-16-1
