We Went Out - Hebrews 11:8-10

Hebrews 11:8-10 NASB 
By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

We are doing the same as Abraham. We have responded to a call to receive an inheritance we have not seen. No longer are we of the world, though we remain in the world, as we have become citizens of heaven. We went out. The way of the world can look strange and hard to understand, like a wayward child totally self absorbed. 

God is our inheritance and portion, and He is ever before us.
