Good morning and welcome. Today we begin the portion of Lech Lecha, where God commands Abram to leave his homeland for a promised land. At 75, Abram is told that this journey is for his own good, to benefit him and his future descendants. Despite being childless, God assures him he will become a great nation. This highlights the principle that changing one’s location can change one’s fortune. Abram's journey symbolizes faith and obedience, even amid challenges like famine. When arriving in Egypt, Abram fears for his life due to his wife Sarai's beauty and devises a plan to proclaim her as his sister to protect himself. This tension illustrates his humility and concern for his family. God’s promise to Abram underscores the blessings that follow faithfulness. The journey begins a legacy, as Abram's actions and faith set the foundation for future generations. Let us remember the significance of our journeys and the blessings that follow.
