Knowing God - God Chooses and Brings Forth

Neh 9:7
 Thou art the Lord the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
God Chooses and Brings Forth


The Lord God chose Abram.  He had a plan and planned on using Abram.   After Abram was chosen, the Lord brought him out of the land he was familiar with took him to a land he didn’t know and gave him a new name.   As believers the Lord not only chooses us to come out of the world and follow Him but He chooses us for certain kingdom plans.  We have a holy calling according to His purpose and grace in Christ.  When we sense Him choosing us for something and we don’t know whether we can leave familiar territory we can take great solace knowing that as the Lord brought Abram forth out He will bring us forth as well.  He is looking for the willingness and surrender of a follower who says I know I have been chosen and I am willing to go wherever you want me to go.  We do not work for God.  We work with God.  God works through us.  Let us, like Abram, be ready to be led forth by a God who not only calls but leads us in our calling.
