Genesis 15:6 “And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it unto him for righteousness.”
Dear God,
Thank you for this new day, for my life and Your preserving of it. Thank You for Your every provision, blessing and answer to my prayers – of all types.
I am so glad that you are the most important aspect of my life. You are God, yet You love me, a sin affected person, upon this sin affected planet. Because I have filled me with Your love, I love You, and Your Spirit is teaching me and enabling me to love You more fully each day. I rejoice in this and delight in seeking You through Your holy written word.
Abraham (Genesis 12 – 23) learned to love You more and more, and revealed his faith in You by his obedience and response to Your requests of him. Yet as recorded in Your word he was not perfect and on several recorded occasions told half-truths and acted without consulting You. It is encouraging for me to note that over time his faith grew, and therefore I believe so will mine, as I centre my all upon You.
Please bless me again today, and fill me with Your Spirit so that I can be established in You and live by Your commands, as well as reflecting Your love and wisdom to all I meet, by You power, wisdom and enabling.
Praise You All Powerful and All Knowing God for You love every part of Your creation, though we are always undeserving and often unlovely and ungrateful.
Amen
