Sometimes the devil is not in the details


Abram is a good example of this principle at work in a Bible character. He walked by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). In the following scripture, read about the call of Abram to do God’s will. Watch to see how much detail he was given before he was asked to follow: “Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came” (Genesis 12:1-5).

God said, “Get out of your country.” How specific was God? He gave Abram this much detail: “to the land I will show you.” That is all God asked Abram to do. God promised to do the rest. Would you be willing to follow God’s directions for your life with that little detail?
