Genesis Chapters 15 & 16

Abram, the Covenant & Ishmael

How many times do we try to second guess God and take things into our own hands? How often do we doubt His promises? Many times I have been guilty of both. When tempted to doubt and take control, we should remember the consequences faced by the world from the birth of Ishmael. How much pain and suffering has the world endured because of this one act?

Help me, Lord, to be more trusting of You and willing to wait on You. Your ways are higher than my ways.

I want to lift up to You once again Jason as he seeks to determine Your plan for the Youth Mission Team. Thank You for closed doors that point him toward Your plan. May Your plan be carried out.

Continue to prepare the roads for my trip tomorrow. Give me a safe journey.

Be with Steele today and in the coming days as she prepares to have this cancer removed from her face. I pray that it is not very deep and can be completely removed without much damage. Give her the strength and courage needed to face this difficult diagnosis. Help her family and friends to be supportive and strong. Bring complete and total healing and may she be able to return quickly to her dance students.

Thank You once again for the gift of another day. May it bring You glory.

Protect my family, especially Joel and the kids.

You are most worthy of all my praise!
