When God took Abram from his own people, he promised to make him head of another people.
I love how all these promises are in response to God's call to Abram. Because God doesn't call us away from stuff without promising in return. The promise for us might not be to turn us "into a great nation" but it will be what we need and more.
In leaving his country, his home, his people, his inheritance, his future (as the world saw it) behind, Abram stepped into God's promises and blessings which took him beyond what he could have imagined or expected. God doesn't ask us to sacrifice for no reason. I fully believe he asks us to sacrifice because what he gives in return is always better.
How do we access God's promises? Faithfully respond to his call with obedience... The rest will fall into place.
