No Undiscovered Lurking-places
On God’s call to Abram (Genesis 12:1 bibrefgenesis12 bibrefgenesis12v1) to leave and seek what he could not see:
[I]t is not to be supposed, that God takes a cruel pleasure in the trouble of his servants; but he thus tries all their affections, that he may not leave any lurking-places undiscovered in their hearts.
—John Calvin, Commentary on the First Book of Moses Called Genesis
