Obedience Without Understanding
Scripture:
“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.” (Hebrews 11:8)
Reflection:
Abraham’s story teaches us that obedience often requires stepping out without full understanding. He left his homeland, not knowing where he was going, simply because God called him. Obedience in faith means trusting God’s voice even when the path is unclear.
We often want the full picture before we obey, but God calls us to take the next step in faith. Understanding comes after obedience, not before. Each step of trust opens the door for God to reveal more of His plan.
When we obey without full understanding, we declare that God is trustworthy. We may not know where He is leading, but we know who is leading us. That assurance is enough.
Prayer:
Lord, give me the faith to obey even when I don’t understand the whole picture. Help me to trust that Your plan is good.
Reflection Questions:
What step of obedience is God asking me to take without full understanding?
2. How has obedience in faith shaped my journey in the past?
