Abraham our Father in Faith Gen. 17:3-9

Why is Abraham our “Father in Faith?”

Because it takes Faith to believe that as an old man,

God is going to bless him with descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Because it takes Faith to Pack up everything and let God lead you to a foreign land.

Because it takes Faith to be willing to sacrifice your own son,

When God asks you to.

When we seem to have nothing,

And when life takes us to unexpected places,

And we lose those we love,

Call upon Abraham;

For he knows what you are going through

And will show you how to hold on to your Faith.
