A Man Receives a Blessing

April 26, 2021

After exploring how far the world has fallen, we wonder how things are going to be made right?

What is God going to do? How is humanity going to get back to the garden?

God's plan is to pick a man, and start that slow process.

That man, Abram/Abraham, was an unlikely person.

He wasn't anyone the world would think of being extraordinary.

But when he hears God, he responds in obedience.

The two notable instances of that in this story:

• Abraham moving away from his family and homeland.
• Abraham being willing to obey God in sacrificing his son.

And he is the start of a movement, a story, that continues to play out today!

We are all spiritual descendants of Abraham! I pray his story can help motivate us towards greater faithfulness!
