Abraham: A Man Of Tough Choices


Abraham was a man of great faith in a personal God who believed in him. When discussing Abraham two things come to mind. First, Abraham's obedience coupled with a strong faith. Abraham was a man who listened to God and walked alongside of God's big plans for his life.

The second thing is that God still blessed Abraham even though his life was less than perfect. We read on more than one account were Abraham doubted God and tried to come up with his own solutions to the problems he encountered on his life journey. Both of these character traits can be found in every man on this planet. We can learn that God is in love with us and wants us to live a life of obedience and sacrifice. So lets learn from Abraham and live a life of great faith.

Noah


Noah was a man that stood above the rest because he chose to live his life for God. Because of this he and his family was sparred destruction and was given the responsibility to carry on mankind. Today take some time and consider the men in your life that stand out as positive life-changers in your life. My dad is one of those men for me. I'm sure you can think of at least one.

Focus Points for Noah:

1. Found favor with God
2. Was provided protection from God
3. Obeyed God with his actions
4. Established a life-covenant with God
