Devotion:
Read Genesis 12:1-8.
The story of our relationship with God begins back at the beginning of the Bible. God creates us humans and initiates relationship with us. And while there is mutual trust in the story of Noah, the story of our journey with God takes a dramatic turn at this point. God initiates a relationship of covenant with one man in order to create a people through whom God can reach and bless all the people of the earth.
That story reaches its climax in the life, death and resurrection of One who was a descendant of Abraham. Through Jesus Christ, every person is invited into a covenant relationship of trust. Sometimes, the path laid out before us or the assignment we are given is not always clear. We are not always given all the details of the destination or the outcome of what we will be doing. But we keep moving out into that future to which God calls us, continuing a journey that was started thousands of years ago and traveled by millions since then. And the same God who invited Abraham to begin that journey continues to invite and lead us. Thanks be to God!
Personal Worship Option:
Reflect on your own journey of faith with God. Think about when and how it started for you, but also the times when you had to renew that trust in order to continue the journey. Give thanks to God for guiding and providing all along the way.
