Genesis 12:6-7 - "And the Canaanites were then in the land. Then Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, 'To your descendants I will give this land.'"
What faith this must have taken to believe this! Abraham moves into a foreign country as one household (a big one, I grant, but only one!) and expects his descendants to own the land.
What multi-generational, expansive, visionary faith to which God called Abraham!
How is it that modern people have a hard time with the first step of faith, as described in Hebrews 11:3,6? ("The worlds were framed by the word of God.... he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.")
