Hebrew Word: Lech Lecha (לֶךְ-לְךָ, 'Go forth')
God’s first words to Abraham are lech lecha (pronounced 'lekh le-kha'), meaning 'go forth' or 'go to yourself.' This is more than a physical journey—it’s a spiritual invitation to step into the unknown, trusting that God walks with you.
Abraham’s courage to leave behind comfort and certainty is a model for your own spiritual path. Sometimes, deepening your connection with God means embracing change and trusting the journey, even when the destination is unclear.
Reflection: Is there a step—big or small—you feel called to take? Ask God for courage to begin.
