Genesis 12:5
v. 5: Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all their possessions, and those they had gained in Haran, including servants or followers (v. 5 a). They fully committed their resources to the journey, making no plans to return. This shows the importance of leaving behind the past and trusting God’s provision. It is also a reminder that those who follow God should seek to bring others along with them (Zech. viii. 23 b). They traveled to the land of Canaan and arrived there successfully, encouraged by God’s guidance and promises. This shows that those who obey God will eventually reach the goals He has set for them, even if the journey is long and difficult.
