If the father of faith, Abraham, had not taken his first steps of trust in God towards the land of Canaan, he would never have achieved the promise of having a great and blessed nation such as the people of Israel.

Abraham's progress focused on hearing God's voice, obeying it, and taking the first steps toward conquering the land of Canaan.
God had generated a glorious pact with Abraham, which consisted of Abraham renouncing all the comforts that he had with his father Terah and going to the place that God would designate, in which he would make him a man of much progress and prosperity .

The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your homeland and your relatives and your father's family, and go to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make of you a great nation; I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.
4 So Abram set out as the LORD had commanded, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran. 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all his possessions — his animals and all the people he had incorporated into his home in Haran — and headed for the land of Canaan. When they reached Canaan, 6 Abram crossed the land to Shechem. There he established the camp, next to the oak of More. At that time, the Canaanites inhabited that region.
7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, "I will give this land to your offspring [a]." And Abram built an altar there and dedicated it to the LORD, who had appeared to him. 8 Then Abram traveled south and set up camp in the mountainous area between Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built another altar and dedicated it to the LORD, and worshiped the LORD. 9 So Abram continued traveling by sections in a southerly direction, toward the Negev. Genesis 12: 1-9 New Living Translation (NLT)

As I told you, dear reader, it is not just about hearing God's voice, but about obeying and taking the first steps to progress on the path that God has outlined for us. If Abraham had doubted the voice of God, surely, he would never have achieved the title of the father of faith, nor would he have had the descendants that he now has in Israel, much less would the savior of the world have come among his descendants.

The life story of progress changed in Abraham when he set his heart to do all the things that God directed him to do, even going as far as trying to sacrifice his own son Isaac.

Every time you take the first step towards your goals you will have a high degree of progress that will become a jewel of your future successes.
