让我们继续来思想一个真理，那就是我们很难面对模糊和不确定的处境，其中一个原因是我们从来没有弃绝自己的私欲。我们关心自己的计划多于神的计划，导致我们感到不肯定和不安全。

今天我们要研读亚伯拉罕的经历，以及他如何应付模糊和疑惑的处景。神呼召他走上不确定的道路时，他已经差不多75岁了。他带着骆驼队和妻子及姪儿一起向……某处出发。阐释版圣经最有力的表达是：「……他去，虽然他不知道要去哪里，也不为此费心。」

司蕴道（Charles Swindoll）对亚伯拉罕和他邻居的谈话作了幽默的想像：
「亚伯拉罕，你去哪里？」
「我要搬家。」
「为甚么？你为甚么要离开吾珥？」
「因为神清楚告诉我应该离开。」
「神？你又跟祂谈话了？」
「是的。祂吩咐我离开，所以我必须走。」
「唔，但是你要上哪儿去呢？」
「我不知道，祂没有告诉我。」
「等一下，你是说你知道自己应该走，但是不知道走去甚么地方？」
「是的。」
「亚伯拉罕啊，看来你还真的是非常糊涂哩！」

不明白前路而服从不是一件容易的事，我们两天前曾谈到同一个主题──未知前路，仍然上路。神曾说我们是「客旅和寄居的」，我们不妨以神对我们的描述来提醒自己，我们既是客旅和寄居的，就应该能够自由地跟从祂，无论祂要把我们带到哪里去。

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.
