Abraham Obeyed & Traveled ~ … “By faith Abraham
obeyed when he was called to go out to the
place which he would receive as an inheritance.
And he went out, not knowing where
he was going. By faith he dwelt in
the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and
Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which
has foundations, whose builder and maker is God”” (Hebrews 11:8-10). …
