He heard the voice

After Genesis 12

He heard the voice

the command to leave

and that was sufficient

to pack up his life and

leave for a land he’d

never seen. The command

was accepted in faith

obeyed in faith

implemented in faith

not only a step

but a journey into the unknown

with families and animals

and responsibilities trailing

behind him in faith.

They didn’t hear the voice

but they heard him when

he said it was the time

to leave, to leave in faith.
