July 2019 How often we look at scripture and know that we can never come close to the ‘greatness’ of Bible people! God has a different way of looking at things. In Genesis 15 He says Abraham was righteous because of his faith. He believed God. Can it be that simple? Really God? Well, if He is who He says He is, the answer has to be ‘Yes’. Our job is to believe it!!     Believe the Bible. Believe what He says.   Abraham acted on his belief in God and because of that God blessed his descendants as well.              

From the journal . . . . August 2007

Genesis 26:4-5

The Lord blessed Isaac because of Abraham’s commitment. Isaac himself didn’t seem to be as important, not in the same way as Abraham, Jacob or Joseph.  Lord, I’m not righteous like Abraham.

And I Believe God Said:

Yes you are.  His righteousness was based on faith in Me.* It’s about faith in Me and about loving Me.  I love Isaac, but I use Abraham as an example and model of obedience and faith.  Isaac was important to me and he had value, but his purpose in this world was different. 
Praying is important because it is relationship.  We are in relationship and we talk.  Pray for your people with faith in my name.

Genesis 15:6

Yes Lord.  I was thinking that Your righteousness covers me and my descendants. So Lord, please bless them in Your name.  The name of Jesus. The name of God. 

These days I am continually praying Deuteronomy 30:6 “The Lord your God will change your heart and the hearts of all your descendants, so that you will love Him with all your heart and soul and so you may live!
