Genesis 12: The Call, the Covenant, the Journey and the Lesson

Abram is called by God and God initiates His covenant with Abram. With the call God desires Abram to come out from among his idolatrous people and go to a place. As Abram journeys he encounters difficulty and flees to Egypt, in this decision he is leaning to his own understanding rather than trusting God and he is taught a crucial lesson about the God of the covenant.
