Journey- A Study on the Life of Abraham
“Journey” will be a study on the life of Abraham, the first Patriarch. Abraham’s journey began when God called him to move from his home in Ur to a new home in Canaan. Abraham’s journey was one of faith and friendship with God, yet along the way, we will also see where Abraham took missteps in that journey. Like Abraham, I think that we are all called to a “journey” with God. And like Abraham, our journey with God will be filled
with stops and go’s… along with ups and downs. There will be times when we know we are walking hand in Hand with God and, sadly, times where we have turned our back on Him headed in another direction. Some people would referred to this as “just life”. For the Christian, our existence is far more than “just life”. For we know that God has created us with a plan in Mind. Life for us is a journey that God has mapped out for us and one in which He desires to be our constant Companion, our Compass, and our Guide. God invites us to take a journey with Him and staying close to Him is the best way to live life. Like the psalmist stated in Psalms 17:5, our prayer should be: Uphold my steps in Your paths, That my footsteps may not slip.
Today is not “just life”….it’s a journey!
