A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
As I look at the British Royal family today, I often wonder how different things would be today had the Queen’s Uncle not abdicated.
Likewise, if the Creator is indeed sovereign and in firm control of everything (as He is shown to be throughout His story: history), then I can’t sit here picking what bits I want to read, or agree with, in His Epic Play. With so many question marks that are out there today over people’s claims to Abraham, whatever happens from here, I have to make a decision. I need to decide that, for whatever reasons that He alone knows, the Creator God used His own authority to choose Abraham.
After Abraham’s death, the Lord appeared in person to Isaac to confirm on oath the inheritance of His global blessing.[a] This chapter today, is the birthplace of an epic saga with international consequences, and it’s being played out on the global stage even today.

THE LORD’S PRAYER:
1. Praise: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your Name. Your Kingdom come! Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven …”
There is no one holy like the Lord. Indeed, there’s no one besides You, Lord God Almighty, nor is there any rock like our God. [1 Samuel 2:2]
2. Ask: “…Give us today our daily bread…”

Your concerns for today
Father, help me to remember that the end of all things is near so that I’m sound in judgment and sober in spirit for the purpose of prayer. [1 Peter 4:7]
3. Admit: “…Forgive us our sin as we forgive those who sin against us…”
Please listen, Lord, to the supplications of Your servant and of Your people. Hear from Your dwelling place, from heaven. Please hear and forgive. [2 Chronicles 6:21]
4. Protect: “…Lead us not into temptation but delivers us from evil.”
Rescue me, O Lord, from those who are evil. Preserve me from the violence of those who devise wickedness in their hearts and continually stir up wars. [Psalm 140:1-2]
“For Yours Lord is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory now and forever. Amen!”
