He left it all, blind to where He was going but assured in his mind by the Voice of God. God chose Abram and Abram “left” that very day for the “Land I will show you”. (Gen 12) Abram was convinced in his own mind when He heard God's Voice, the authority of the Creator of the universe was speaking to him!

It was this very act of responding to the Voice of God that Abram's name was changed to Abraham and his anointed legacy in the earth of a great name, is the Father of Faith! He blessed the families of this world to have an example of leaving what you know and resting in the hands of GOD with your eyes closed!

It is amazing that in the first “calling out” of God for His people, God used His voice just as He used His voice to create the world! He used an audible sound to communicate to Abram that he would hear Him and know His desire. Holy Spirit reveals to us in the initial interactions of God and Abram in Genesis 12 that they had a conversation that was heard!

Helen Keller was blind from her early toddler years. The loss of her sight prevented her from seeing light, partaking in the beauty of awesome colors, or even the beauty of nature created by God. No surgery or cure could correct this loss of sight, but she was alive and existing as a living, breathing human being.
