Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Becoming Like Christ – Day 282 – Hebrews 11:8 – By Faith Abraham Obeyed And Went – Growing As Disciples

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. Hebrews 11:8 (NIV)

Call 

I welcome that in my life. What do you welcome in your life? I welcome your call in my life. There is no place I would rather be and nothing I would rather do than to be going and doing what you ask of me. Are you sure? Not always, but I am confident that you will help me to know and do your will. You will help me to follow and obey you. You will encourage and strengthen me as I live my life with and for you. Yes, I will.

There is something else of which I am very sure. What’s that? You will ask me to leave the familiar and comfortable to go to the unfamiliar to do what is uncomfortable. That is true. What will happen to you as you go and do what I ask of you? I will come to rely on you more fully. I will come to listen to you more carefully. I will hold on to you tightly as you lead me through life. I know that you will be holding on to me tightly as well. Yes, I will. Our relationship will deepen. I will live more intimately with you. I will more clearly hear your voice guiding me. I will live my life in an ongoing dialogue of prayer with you. Surely, I will follow your guidance. Surely, I will follow your instructions. Thankfully, I will learn to depend on you, rather than myself. Certainly, my faith and hope and trust in you will grow. Yes, it will. You can be sure of that.

What will I accomplish in you and through you as you hear and obey my call? You will accomplish your purposes and fulfill your plans in and through my life. You will make me faithful. You will make me fruitful. You will help me to bear fruit for your kingdom. You will help me to bring glory to your name. You will help me to store up real treasure in heaven with you. You will make me able to one day, at the end of time, hear you say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”  Nothing will make me happier. Nothing will give me more pleasure than to know that I had gone and done your will and lived the life you have called me to live. That is what I am doing and will continue to do in you, for you and through you. Follow me. Hear my call. Go and do what I ask of you. Yes Lord, I will. That will be very good. 

Lord, I will listen to your voice. I will look for your direction. I will follow your guidance. I will leave the familiar to go to the unknown. I will go where you guide me to do whatever you ask of me. Use me powerfully to accomplish your purposes and fulfill your plans. Amen

Key Question… What is the Lord asking you to do for Him in this season of your life?

Living It Out… Go and do what the Lord asks of you so that you can be powerfully used by Him.

Seeing It Happen… Have faith that the Lord will help you to go and do what He asks of you.

Get Ready To Share… Share with another person or your small group what the Lord has given you to do for Him.

Prayer To Bless Others… May you obey the Lord by going and doing what He asks of you.

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 69 – Hebrews 11-8 – Called To Go – Growing As Disciples

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. Hebrews 11:8 (NIV)

Ready To Go

Will you go wherever I guide you? Will you do whatever I ask of you? I assume you are asking me if I will go even if I don’t know where I am going, or will I do something even though I may not fully understand what I am doing. That is a very good assumption. That is exactly what I am asking you. You could have asked me if I will take steps of faith with you. Yes, I could have asked you that question, but I didn’t. What would you say if I was asking you to take more than steps of faith? Are you asking me If I will take leaps of faith with you? Yes, now you are more clearly understanding what I am asking of you. A leap of faith would require me to put all my faith and trust in you. Yes, it would. A leap of faith would require me to leave the comfortable and familiar for what might be uncomfortable and unfamiliar. How does that sound to you? It sounds a little scary. It sounds quite challenging. It sounds unpredictable. Yes, it is all those things, without a doubt. What do you say? I will not say no to you, that is for sure. Will you say yes to me? Yes, I will. Why will you say yes to me? I know that you will be with me. You will help me. I also know that you have a good plan for my life. Your will and your ways are better than my plan. You will do in and through me what I could never even imagine. How do you know that? Just looking back over my life, I could have never predicted where you would have led me and how you would have used me. Had I designed my own way; it would have been far less demanding. It would have been far more predictable. It would have probably been uninteresting and even boring. It would also have been unfruitful, and all of this would have been most regrettable. I am thankful and grateful that you have been leading and guiding the course of my life. That’s good. So, I will say it again, yes, I will go wherever you guide me to do whatever you ask of me. Without qualifications? Without limits? Yes, whenever and wherever. I am at your service. I am ready to go. That is very good.  

Lord, I will listen to you. I will accept your instruction. I will follow your guidance. I will go and do whatever you ask of me, even when I do not fully understand where I will be going or what I will be doing. All I know is that I will be following and serving you. Amen

Discipleship Study – Faith – Hebrews 11:8 – Called To Go – Growing As Disciples

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. Hebrews 11:8 (NIV)

Go And Do

Will you go where I guide you? Will you do what I ask of you?  Yes, certainly, I will go where you guide me and do what you ask of me. That was a very quick answer. You did not let me clarify what I am asking you.  Great, I like clarity. Clarity would make it much easier for me to go where you guide me to do what you ask of me. The more details the better. I like to know where I am going and what I will be doing before I make any decisions. So, I am very glad that you will give me all the clarity that I will need. Now, you have had nearly an entire conversation with yourself. What do you mean by that? Slow down and listen to what I have to say to you. I’m listening, I won’t say a word. I doubt that.

I wanted to make it clear that I will sometimes ask you to go and do something for me without details. My only instruction may be for you to go. You will not have the clarity of knowing every detail before you make your decision to go and do what I ask of you. What? On what basis would I be making my decision? I will tell you one thing. What’s that? You would not be making your decision based on your own knowledge and understanding. That sounds a little scary to me. Yes, following me will require you to have courage. But, your question was a good one that I will let you answer. If I say yes to you without knowing any details I will be making my decision based on my love for you. What does love have to do with you making a decision to follow me? If I love you I will go and do whatever you ask of me. I won’t think it over. I won’t evaluate. I won’t hesitate. I will simply go where you guide me. I will just do what you ask of me. To know that you were asking something of me would be enough. I would not go half-heartedly. I would not go with deep reservations. I would not go with timid steps of regret. I would not longingly look back at what I had left behind. I would joyfully respond to your call. I would rely on you for all that I need to go where you guide me to do what you ask of me. That will be very good.

Heavenly Father, help me to hear the voice of your Holy Spirit guiding me to do what you are asking me to go and do for you. Give me strength to obey you and do what you ask of me even if it is difficult or I don’t fully understand. Amen
