Abram followed God unquestionably in everything he did, moving to places he had not known, obeying commands that were new, believing promises that seemed impossible. For these God counted Abram as His righteous servant. Indeed, God's people have always been called the children of Abraham! This is high God holds this very righteous man. Yet, he was still just a man. When he needed to put his trust in God, Abram faltered and lived out a lie with his beautiful wife, Sarai. Examples such as this are what strengthens my hope. If Father Abraham could exhibit such weakness and still be found in favor with the Lord, then maybe, in my weakness, I too might find favor in His eyes. Thank you Lord for finding strength in our weaknesses!
