"When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said: I am God the Almighty. Walk in my presence and be blameless.
No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I am making you the father of a multitude of nations."
Genesis 17:1, 5
Abram's life was not perfect, as you have read he made mistakes but he was always faithful to God. He made ever effort to honor God. God transforms this old man into Abraham. He has learned many things as he followed the voice of God. Our walk with God will be blameless as well as we heed His voice. We are called to listen, to respond and bear witness to Him. In this vast world you may feel insignificant but with God, you and He will move mountains. Never underestimate the power of God, look around you, He created all of it, it is good as you are. Listen, Abraham listened and he became the father of many nations.
What is God saying to me: Be my faithful follower, there is more to come. I do not seek perfection just willingness.
Dear Father God, You know how my heart beats with You in it. I am surrounded by Your good creation and the perfectness of it. I thank You for creating me in Your image and likeness. May I always honor
You, may I not be overwhelmed by the vastness but see the beauty in all. May I see the perfection that You are creating in each of us. I thank You for this day, I ask for prayers for a young lady missing her father, give her peace in knowing Daddy is still watching over her. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Joy, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
