In Genesis 11 Abram made the decision to leave Ur of the Chaldeans and head to Canaan. However Abram stopped in Haran, and THEN God spoke His calling to Abram. Recall Genesis 12 where God calls Abram to the land He will show him.  Here is where Abram sets out to continue his journey to the land of Canaan.  Isn't it interesting that Abram set out towards Canaan before God told him to go, AND before He actually shows Abram the land He will give to his descendants? Yet, 3 chapters later God tells him that HE brought him from Ur, not from Haran where He actually spoke to Abram.  

Genesis 12:4 (God spoke to Abram AFTER he'd already set out towards Canaan)
So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran.

Genesis 15:7 (3 chapters later)
"He also said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it."

What do you think this tells us?  It shows us a specific characteristic of who God is.  

God is sovereign.  

He already knows what you will do and if He wants to guide you without you even knowing it, HE CAN.  Have you ever looked back to a time period when you weren't following God or may have not even known Him?  Yet you see your footsteps were ordered to meet the right person who would lead you to Christ, or to that church.  Maybe you joined this Bible study out of curiosity, but it's actually GOD who planted that curiosity in your heart.  If this is you, then keep up with these studies and you will watch how the Lord will transform your life and how He will order your steps to the land that He will show you, to the blessings He will give you.  You are loved and held precious, dear to the Lord's heart.  Let Him love you and speak to you everyday and you will find peace in such a hard present age.
