Bibledoorajar Examines Matters of the Heart

       "Father Abraham had many sons, many sons had father Abraham,
 I am one of them and so are you, so let's just praise the Lord!"

                                           Lyrics by Chris Donato   

      God had placed Abraham in a strategic place with the intent to carry out a mighty mission. Abraham, while not a perfect man, had become a man of great faith and his prayer life and dependence on God is certainly to be admired. He knows that a great kingdom is to come through him via Isaac and his descendants:
         "For I have made myself known to him, so that he will give orders to his children and to his household after him to keep the way of Adonai and to do what is right and just, so that Adonai may bring about for Abraham what he has promised him" (Gen. 18:19).
       God refers to himself as Adonai which in Hebrew means, Lord or Master or Owner. Clearly from this verse we learn that God had found a man who would respect His Sovereignty. In this instance, His Sovereignty in matters of the heart will affect the human race for generations to come.This progeny, begun with Abraham, will be the righteous ones, walking in a new direction. Changed from their surroundings, they are not blinded to God's sovereignty in their lives. With all their being, they are seeking to live correctly as one of the many sons of Abraham. The admonition today is in the phrase "with all their being". If any have slipped away from this noble position in life, is it not wonderful to know that all we need do is repent and begin walking in the NEW DIRECTION again as God leads?
