WORSHIP:
SUPREMACY OF; ENCOUNTER WITH GOD; PRIORITIES

Ultimately Abraham discovered that only God matters. He discovered in that revelation the greatest concept in the world. We might say he became a “one idea” man.…

It is as if Abraham laid hold of God’s favor and promise with rejoicing, saying to himself, “When I have God, I need nothing more!”

Abraham was completely satisfied with God’s friendship. He becomes to us a faithful example in his willingness to put God first. With Abraham, only God mattered.…

In Abraham’s encounter with God he learned why he was here upon earth. He was to glorify God in all things and to continually worship.…

These truths concerning Abraham and his wholehearted response to God cause me to wonder. How can we bring our lukewarm Christians into a realization that nothing in the world is as important to them as God’s love and God’s will?
