Genesis 12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. 2  “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.[a] 3  I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

One of the first road trips in the Bible is the call of God to Abram to leave his homeland and head to the Promised Land. Abram was wealthy and comfortable in his home. But there was one thing he lacked-a family. God gave him a choice-stay and be safe or go and be fruitful. It’s amazing to me not only that God persuaded Abram but that Abram was able to get his wife, Sara, to go along based on such an impossible promise.
