It's a new month, so that means it's time for a new memory verse! I can hardly believe one month in 2011 is already in the past. It means we are that much closer to Spring, and that much closer to opening our new business. Only two months to go before we open the doors to our new store.
I've been reflecting a lot this past week on Genesis 12:1-7. To sum it up, God asked Abram to leave his country, relatives, and father's house to go to another land that He was going to show him. So Abram packed up his wife, nephew, and all their belongings and headed out until he reached the land of Canaan, where God then promised to give the land to Abram's descendants.
Hebrews Chapter 11:8-12 commends the faith that it took for Abram to make this journey. Because we are on a "faith journey" of our own right now, I have chosen Hebrews 11:8 as my third SSMT verse in 2011.
"By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going."
He obeyed and went. That is what we intend to do. By faith, as God leads us every step of the way.
Following His lead,
Melissa

I've just been reading Abraham's story in my Bible reading plan, and studying Sarah for my monthly Bible study. It's hard to be as faithful as they were, but by God's grace we can do it!
Blessings on you through this transition!
