20 abraham

Father what a picture of faith You have shown us in Your son Abraham. How beautiful it must be to hear You speak. Father there are times I have trouble following simple commands. Staying in our word and loving my neighbors and enemies. I know You know what is best and even though You have told me, there are times that I don't follow. Abraham up and left the land he knew and marched through the desert to a land he had never seen. He knew who You were and he trusted You completely. By Your grace Father, You have shown me who You are. I need to work at shedding my adherence to the things I can see and firmly placing my trust in You. The results of Abraham's faithful life are no less amazing; "all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Father we need focus. Help us see past what we can see and focus on the unseen. Help us focus on You and Your Kingdom. For the things of this world will burn up in flames and so will a great many of the people if they never know You.

let all the peoples praise You
