Running away from God

When we say running away from God, I used to think it meant totally deserting and becoming a total badboy but I have come to realise that what it really meant is hiding away from God by seeking normalcy.

That was the situation Abram was in, it's like saying you're going to the university but you don't know which university or what course you'd be studying yet you pack you b

Did you know that for years I have read this chapter and only related it to spiritual things?  I took it to mean that by studying God's word and the life of heroes of faith I do prove my love for God, and I was right.  It's just that this passage meant a lot more than just studying Spiritual stuff, the truth is that it applies to every part of our lives, spiritual, intellectual, academic, marital, psychological, and even physical aspects.  Putting it simply if people see that you have more knowledge or wisdom on all subject matters they respect you and admire you for it and they are already respecting and admiring God your maker indirectly.  They will try to find the source of your unique depth of knowledge, wisdom, charisma or whatever it is they find attractive about you at that point you can easily tell them it's all
