Ps. 22:23-31:Praise the Lord all the descendants of Jacob & Israel.
Rom. 4:13-25: Abraham was made Father of nations because of his faith.
Mark 8:31-38:Jesus tells his disciples that he must go and be put to death. Peter yells at him & tries to stop him. Jesus tells Peter, "Satan get behind me." Then Jesus tells his disciples that anyone who follows him will have to carry a cross.
or Mark 9:2-9: Jesus transfigured before Peter, James & John.
The theme is faith.
God promised Abraham that he and Sarah would be parents of many nations (Gen.17:1-7,15-16). Now let us remember that this promise came when they were very old. But Abraham had faith that God would keep his promise. and that is what saved him (Rom. 4:13-25). In the Psalms we see a song inviting the decedents of Abraham to praise God for keeping his promises (Ps. 22:23-31). We see where Peter wavered in his faith when Jesus told the disciples that he was to be killed. That is when Jesus told them that to follow Him they would have their own cross to bear. But that they were to do so in faith (Mark 8:31-38).
Challenge of the week:
This week look at something that is going on in you life that you can not control; & hand it to God and have faith that he will take care of it.
Accomplishment of the week:
what have you handed to God this week? has he taken care of it yet? If not continue to believe that he will bring it about.
