Genesis 12:3-5 New Living Translation (NLT)
3 "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”
4 So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. 5 He took his wife, Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all his wealth—his livestock and all the people he had taken into his household at Haran—and headed for the land of Canaan.

Can you imagine that? What do most folks do when they are 75 years old! I doubt if many of us would venture out to a new place in a new country and start a new life like Abraham and Sarah did. What an incredible man he must have been (and her, an amazing woman), and what an AWESOME God we have!
