Walking with God
Read:
Genesis 12:1-8
12 The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”
4 So Abram departed as the LORD had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. 5 He took his wife, Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all his wealth—his livestock and all the people he had taken into his household at Haran—and headed for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan, 6 Abram traveled through the land as far as Shechem. There he set up camp beside the oak of Moreh. At that time, the area was inhabited by Canaanites.
7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your descendants.” And Abram built an altar there and dedicated it to the LORD, who had appeared to him. 8 After that, Abram traveled south and set up camp in the hill country, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built another altar and dedicated it to the LORD, and he worshiped the LORD.
If time allows, read this again in the ESV translation: Genesis 12:1-8

God asked Abram to leave his country and family. Should he have also left Lot behind? We see later that they had problems and had to split. That being said, 75 years old, leaving everyone and everything you know behind is really hard. But God kept his promise and Abram believed him.
Abram was 75 yrs old.
God had a purpose & a plan, and he agreed to be apart of it.

Abram followed God's commands. He took his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot and settled among the Canaanites.
