Join us as we read the Bible is story form to look at the big picture of God Assume Power and Devotion to His people. Though out the Bible there is a theme of Jesus so keep this in mined as you are reading. The first sing of Jesus is in Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let US make man in OUR image, in OUR likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."  This is the first signs of the Trinity.  
 
I pray that this will become a great adventure In Gods word.

What do you think about Abraham?

What do you think about Abraham?
I find Abraham to be unstable in his thinking when it comes to his wife Sarah and his life.
Abraham only takes 318 men against 4 kings to save Lot yet will pass Sarah off as his sister to save his life.
Is his faith in God "unstable" or did God use this in His plan to bless Abraham?

Ah the beauty of the Bible in how it portrays its heroes. Abraham is in fact portrayed as "unstable", that is "human" like the rest of us.

Abraham believed God and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, but surely his faith was peppered with doubt. I find it interesting to note that the Bible generally gives highlights or lowlights, but the mundane rest is left unwritten. How many years did Abraham wait for the promise? Did his faith waver? Certainly, that is demonstrated in the whole Hagar situation.

Our faith is in flux; affected by our doubts, our lack of understanding and sometimes even our sin. Abraham is no exception, the Bible gives an honest presentation of his humanity, fallen like the rest of us.
