Go.

"The Lord said to Abram, 'Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you.'" Genesis 12:1

God is the one who says GO. He is THE ONE who says where. And He is the one who determines who will be part of the journey. The sovereign will of God.

"So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him." Genesis 12:4a

I can say yes, no, or change the details of that instruction. The free will of man.

"And there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe" Genesis 12:10

No matter what I choose to do - where I choose to go - who I choose to take with me - I am ultimately dependent on God.

"So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord." Genesis 13:18

And He will teach me to worship Him.
So here I go.
