So Quickly Forgotten
Genesis 12 starts of well enough with Abram obeying God's instruction to leave his land and move to another. This was a big deal in those days... Much more so, even than say, when my family moved here to Canada from the Philippines. It was a great display of faith on Abram's part, then, to obey. The chapter doesn't end so well, though, as Abram moves down to Egypt because of a famine and then lies about Sarai being his wife. Quite the display of faithlessness there... So it is in the Christian life, which has its ups and downs. Abram would have at least 2 other episodes like this, but as he grew in his faith, certainly the transforming work of God became more evident also.
