The Call of Abram

Abram was promised he'd be a great nation
God blessing him through all generations
He would be protected and richly rewarded
As the father of faith would he be recorded 

Abram’s descendants would inherit the land
It would start with his son as God planned
Even though it'd take 400 years till fulfillment 
God vowed to complete His solemn commitment

Then God changed his name to "Father of many"
Promising him his descendants will be plenty
But he and his wife were very matured
Laughing to themselves when a son was ensured

When Isaac was born Sarah still laughed
But it was out of joy as many years passed
At an advanced age she was able to nurse
God had healed her of childbearing hurt

Some time later a sacrifice was asked for 
Testing Abraham to see who he loved more 
Still he placed Isaac upon the altar 
Abraham’s faith had never faltered 

God had greatly blessed Abraham’s house 
Then a task was made to find Isaac a spouse
Upon Rebekah did the Lord have favor 
Comforting Isaac after the death of his mother 

As a foreigner in the land did Abraham thrive 
Having lived a long and satisfying life
His blessings passed on to his son Isaac 
As God would continue the holy contract

The True Enemy

Inspired by Numbers 25 & Matthew Henry's commentary While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove To defile themselves the men willingly chose Seduced by Moabite women and their deities Making the Lord angry and release His fury Rapport with the wicked is more harmful than enmity It is our immoral desires that is the true enemy Giving into worldly interests and its pleasures Forgetting to put the Lord at our core and center Let us execute His vengeance in zeal and faith To remain in His good graces and holy estate So God may make a special covenant of peace And His divine favor upon us may increase God punishes the wicked not with a rod But with swords exposing their profane facade Punishing those who tempt others to fail While His righteousness will always prevail

More Than Conquerers

Inspired by Matthew Henry's  commentary  on Numbers chapter 21 Before our march to the Promised Land We may find ourselves in enemy's hands But let us look thoroughly to the Lord Our only way to keep moving forward So instead of Arad, we have Hormah As the enemy's sins are enormous God will bring about their destruction His love for His children brings protection But as we continue on our journey We can be impatient and be in a hurry Then complain about the Lord's provision Bringing about the Lord's derision The serpent comes back to bite at our heels Making our grievances his meal Our very lives does he greedily steal Making us look up so we can be healed Look up and see the serpent of bronze Do not fear death that corresponds The venom may stir up our sinful passions But only the Lord can bring salvation Do not forget and always remember When God blessed us with living water Our expectations should be tempered And only rely on His Grace and His Favor Wicked men tr...
