So Do We

 

When Abram was 99 years old,

the LORD appeared to Abram

and said to him,

"I am God Almighty,

walk before Me

   and be blameless,

that I may make My covenant

   between Me and you,

and may multiply you greatly."

            Genesis 17. 1

(Everything up to this point

was preparing and training him

for God's incredible purposes.

Abram had no clue.

But in God's unexpected ways, 

        and in His exact timing,

  Abram would know

  beyond a shadow of a doubt

       who is this God 

       whom he is worshiping.

And Abram would need that.

             So do we.

How differently would we live

  if we saw God

        and trusted Him

not for something   

   but as the Almighty?)

O LORD,

You see us far clearly

     than we see ourselves.

You hear us.

And You multiply beyond 

        what we are capable

        on our own.

You unfold what is

             all around us

and in the darkness,

  You provide the next step.

Even while we pray

  and as we trust You

  into what appears impossible,

  You are changing our hearts.

You are the Almighty One.
