Abraham and Wind

Abraham is a man that I truly Love.

He is written about in the first book of the Bible.

Wonderful Prophet of God.

Because he was SO righteous God promised him a TON of blessings.

(children out number the sands of the sea/ dust of the earth/stars in the sky)

Genesis 15:6

"And he believed the LORD."

He didn't just believe the lord because he had an easy life.

He believed the Lord even when things were hard.

He grew old and still had no children.

Yet he knew God didn't and doesn't lie.

I love his example of patience and love of God.

 

The other day it was so windy and crazy outside.

My hair was a mess, my ears were frozen.

Then someone asked me a question about Abraham.

Abraham went through a lot of trial and heartbreak.

Yet he still loved God

Abraham was willing to sacrifice the things he loved the most for the Lord

and in return God blessed him.

I know this pattern holds true.

When we sacrifice the things we love

(perfect hair warm ears etc.)

And do the things we know God would have us do

Our promised blessings will be great.

 

LDS Hymn # 72

"Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in me adore him!

All that hath breath, join with Abraham's seed to adore him!"

 

After Baptism we will be numbered as Abrahams children.

We will find rest through our Lord and Savior.
