ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD
Abraham's faith reposed in God Himself.
He knew the God he was dealing with.
It was a personal confidence in One
whom he could utterly trust.
The real secret of Abraham's whole life
was in his friendship with God.
He knew God to be his great,
good and faithful Friend.
Taking Him at His word, he stepped out
from all that he knew and loved and went
forth upon an unknown pathway with
none but God. In addition to trusting in
the Word of God, have we learned to lean our
whole weight upon God, the God of infinite love
and power, our covenant God and everlasting Friend?
We are told that Abraham glorified God
by this life of faith. The truest way to glorify God
is to let the world see what He is and what He can do.
God does not so much want us to do things as to let
people see what He can do. God is not looking for
extraordinary characters as His instruments,
but He is looking for humble instruments through
whom He can be honored throughout the ages.
