Week 1

Well, we're off to a great start! As you probably noticed, this study begins with some self exploration. It's good to get our bearings before beginning on a journey. God called Abram to leave the comfort of his homeland and the security of his family so that God could bless him, and the people would be blessed through him. God also calls us to move from our comfort zone so that we will put our trust in Him that we too might be used by God to be a blessing as He also blesses us. I heard someone on the radio the other day (I think Ravi Zacharias) say that much of our restlessness and dissatisfaction comes from our desire to seek happiness rather than blessedness. Interesting point to ponder. Have a great week.
