👫🏽💕Hello, good morning.
Inspired by Kevin BondPatriarchs and Prophets
July 2, 2021, Today's devotional
Abram/Abraham
When I was a little girl we used to sing the song, "Father Abraham". We'd march around swinging our arms singing, "Father Abraham had many sons. Many sons had Father Abraham. I am one of them and so are you, so let's all praise the Lord." 😊
Abram was the Great-grandson of Shem. Shem, was one of Adam & Eve's sons. That means Abram was the Great-great grandson of Adam and Eve. That is unfathomable to me, to be that close in lineage to Adam & Eve.
I clearly remember my Great-grandfather Lacy Tate. Some of you might even have memories or still have your Great-great grandparents still with us. Appreciate them if you do.
In Genesis 12 we see where God called Abram and told him he would make a great nation from him. His name would be great and blessed. God had a deep personal relationship with Abram, so much so that he literally changed his name from Abram to Abraham in Genesis 17.
Abraham's relationship was so close with Jehovah that James 2:23 tells us that God literally called Abraham, Friend!
Be the type of person that God can call a friend and you can reciprocate.
Love your friends with the Love of Jehovah God.
📚Major Lesson alert: Don't be solely reliant upon Jehovah God because of what he can do. Cultivate your relationship with him because you truly love him. Because of who he is not what he is.
💓I love you; Abba loves you; we love you!
🙏🏽James 2:23 ERV
This shows the full meaning of the Scriptures that say, "Abraham believed God, and because of this faith he was accepted as one who is right with God." Abraham was called "God's friend."
