How often do we read the currency that we use to secure our goods and services? "In God We Trust" is on every piece of currency we use and it proclaims a trust that the One behind it will never fail. The book of Genesis now takes a new turn in the relationship between God and man. The man, Abram, is now to be known as Abraham because that is the name that will mean - Father of many nations. The covenant, like all contracts, is based upon trust and adherance to the conditions. All Abraham had to do was not sin and God would do the rest. Of course, moral laws were not yet defined by God in a recorded fashion so the concept of sin was relative and ambigious. Still, the logical question that was to asked by Abraham was "what is sin?" I don't think the "don't ask, don't tell" concept really applies here nor is ignorance bliss. Still all Abraham could do is absorb and hopefully learn. God did promise that the marriage covenant would be the only means that a rightful heir could be established since God did ordain and bless marriage back in 2:24.
Good weekend, got some cleaning done, saw Moneyball with the family and had a good day at church. Still not a good day for my team being thoroughly embarrassed on Sunday night. Good chat with an old friend and talk/prayer with GG. Getting ready to go back to morning gym time.
Praise for today: I love you, O Lord, my strength! Ps 18:1
