With P Jim on Grief Leave, this week's Daily is presented by Wendy D'Avella, Lay Leader of Pittstown UMC.
Tuesday, February 28, 2023 Genesis 12:1-4. Revised Standard Version. Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves." 4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years years old when he departed from Haran. When you consider what God was asking Abram to do, it may be difficult to comprehend accepting this life changing event, especially at 75 years of age. We can only wonder what his thoughts were, was he afraid? Ultimately, it is written that Abram accepted the Lord's invitation to move to Canaan with his nephew Lot. From the passage, I believe that Abram had faith in the Lord, that he was fulfilling God's will. When you come across a challenge or new opportunity in life, have faith that God will see you through it and lead you to a place where you can be fulfilled. Remember, faith consists of your beliefs, your hopes and fears and the trust you inherently place in God. Have Faith 🙏 Comments are closed.
