Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his nephew, and all their possessions which they had accumulated, and the persons which they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan; thus they came to the land of Canaan. Genesis 12:5
God told Abram to go forth from his country, his relatives, his father's house, to a land He would show him. Like most of us, he got most of God's command right, but not all of it. The first mistake Abram made was he took Lot, and the people he had acquired. Did that error cost Abram anything? YES. That partial disobedience amounted to disobedience, and Abram paid the consequences many times over. Let's listen and read carefully when the Lord is instructing us on our next move. What we don't hear, or don't want to hear, could cause of lots of trouble later.
