Abraham leaned on the providence of God, trusting Him to do that which was best in his life. It wasn’t an easy life, but it was a life of faith—a life that honored God.
Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
Genuine faith follows God.
Genuine faith knows that God can be trusted—that God always knows best.
Genuine faith always proves its reality in faithful works and humble obedience, Eph. 2:10.
