Going to the unknown- Ancient Ties to modern life

Many times Abram (A.k.A later in life as Abraham) took very large steps and made decisions that were monumental. The Midrash (Stories to help us in interpretation of the Biblical text) inform us of the time Abram decided to break every idol but one, that were in the possession of his father. At the time Abram did not know what would be the reaction of his father
When Abram was older he left his home, the surroundings that were familiar to him, and went again to the unknown. Many times in our lives we have to go and face the unknown.
Later in life Abram became Abraham, the father of many nations. Greatness and respect came his way because of the risks he took. These risks are based on trust.
Each day we face many unknowns. The thing we need to make sure is that we have someone who will be there to help guide us with our "leap of faith". Only when we are ready to believe in what we are doing, are we able to feel secure in our journey.
