He looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God (Hebrews 11:10)
When God called Abraham, Abraham left his home, family, his comforts and went out not even knowing where he was going! Verse 10 says he did not know exactly where he was going, but he knew what he was looking for. He was looking for a city that was built on a firm foundation. Abraham knew that any place/people that are not built on the solid foundation of God's teaching would surely sink. Wanting to be built /shaped by God Abraham traded the emotional/ physical stability of his hometown for a spiritual/eternal foundation of God's will.
Do we trust in familiar surroundings, assets, or even family for our security or are we looking to God and building our life on his Word and his guidance each day. There is nothing more solid than God's promises and there is no one who can build a city or shape a life like God can!
