Read Genesis 12
The beginning of the story of father Abraham. After hearing the call of God, Abram left his father and security of home in order to and venture into the unknown of following God by faith. At age 75 with no children of his own, God called Abram to begin a nation of people through whom He would bless all nations of people. God's special purpose for Abram was not saying he loved him more than the other people of the world, but it would be through the life and family of Abram that God would demonstrate his love and provision for all the people of the world.
Far from perfect Abram had trouble fully trusting God. It would be a growing relationship that God would nurture. Like a child learning and growing into an adult, Abram was learning to walk with God. Abram would pave the way for all of us in what it means to trust and obey God.
