讓我們繼續來思想一個真理，那就是我們很難面對模糊和不確定的處境，其中一個原因是我們從來沒有棄絕自己的私慾。我們關心自己的計劃多於神的計劃，導致我們感到不肯定和不安全。

今天我們要研讀亞伯拉罕的經歷，以及他如何應付模糊和疑惑的處景。神呼召他走上不確定的道路時，他已經差不多75歲了。他帶著駱駝隊和妻子及姪兒一起向……某處出發。闡釋版聖經最有力的表達是：「……他去，雖然他不知道要去哪裡，也不為此費心。」

司蘊道（Charles Swindoll）對亞伯拉罕和他鄰居的談話作了幽默的想像：
「亞伯拉罕，你去哪裡？」
「我要搬家。」
「為甚麼？你為甚麼要離開吾珥？」
「因為神清楚告訴我應該離開。」
「神？你又跟祂談話了？」
「是的。祂吩咐我離開，所以我必須走。」
「唔，但是你要上哪兒去呢？」
「我不知道，祂沒有告訴我。」
「等一下，你是說你知道自己應該走，但是不知道走去甚麼地方？」
「是的。」
「亞伯拉罕啊，看來你還真的是非常糊塗哩！」

不明白前路而服從不是一件容易的事，我們兩天前曾談到同一個主題──未知前路，仍然上路。神曾說我們是「客旅和寄居的」，我們不妨以神對我們的描述來提醒自己，我們既是客旅和寄居的，就應該能夠自由地跟從祂，無論祂要把我們帶到哪裡去。

We continue meditating on the fact that one of the reasons why we find it so difficult to cope with ambiguity and uncertainty is because we have never really died to self-interest. We are more concerned about our own purposes than we are about His - hence we are uncertain and insecure.

Today we look at Abraham and the way he handled his situation of ambiguity and uncertainty. He was almost seventy-five years old when God called him to step out on the pathway of uncertainty. There he was, loading up his camel caravan with his wife and nephew, bound for somewhere. The Amplified Bible puts if most effectively when it says: "...he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go."

Charles Swindoll humorously pictures a conversation between Abraham and his neighbours going something like this: "Abraham, where are your going?" "I'm moving" "Why? Why ever would you want to leave Ur?" "God has made it clear that I should go." "God? You've been talking to Him again?" "Right. He told me to leave. I must go." "Well, where are you going?" "I don't know; He didn't tell me that." "Wait a minute, you know you ought to go, but you don't know where you ought to go?" "Yes." "Abraham, you really have gone off the deep end." And so it continues. It isn't easy to obey without understanding. It is the same thing that we talked about two days ago: going without knowing. It might help to remind ourselves of the term God sometimes uses to describe us - strangers and pilgrims. People on the move, free to follow Him wherever He leads - regardless.
