It is uncanny how the Lord connects the life stories of people like Abram (later renamed Abraham by God himself) with today’s American Christian. In hearing today’s Sunday morning sermon at Christ Church, the parallels between the story of Abraham and the history of our nation became clear to me. Admittedly, in working with Prayer1, my focus may be skewed in that direction more than the average person, yet the undeniable message for me as a citizen came bursting through.
Lord, help us to be like Abraham … to follow you as believers hungering for your Word. We repent of succumbing to the temptations of plenty and clinging to the things of this world so tightly that we have lost our thirst for you. Forgive us for exchanging our dependence on You for provision, for the false promise of security through our own knowledge, efforts and accumulation of wealth. |
