"Consider the Sands Abraham"
Abraham knew the 'I AM' of his life and he became a friend of God. Do you know your kids can know the 'I AM' of God? To think, who did Abraham know? Abraham had an encounter with the one who made the stars, the sun, and the moon. The Bible tells us that he is a friend of God because he believed. He believed in the 'I Am', the Elshaddi, the one true God.
Abraham lived in a land that was full of idolatry. It was full of worship to other 'gods'. Those of whom were made of stone and wood, who were images of things rather than the creator of those things. In that land, he heard God speak to him personally. Your kids can hear God personally speak to them in a land that is filled with the noise of other things that call for their attention. God is God, and He is the 'I Am' in their lives as well as ours.
God says He is the 'I Am', who is the all that you need Him to be for you. When Moses asked God, 'Who shall I say sent me?" God answered Him from the burning bush and said to tell them that 'I Am'. That in Hebrew is 'Elshaddi'. The God who is the answer to everything in your lives. As Abraham heard God, he followed God. In a land where the allegiance of the people were towards other things, Abraham's allegiance was to his God and he became as we know him, 'The Father of Faith!". If you want to understand some things about faith look at Abraham's life. Through Abraham's faithfulness to God in his life, God made a promise to Abraham that comes our way through the blessing. God stood by that promise He made to Abraham and He brought Abraham into relationship to know the things of God. In Genesis 18 verses, 17-19, we find what the Lord says about it here:
"And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him."
What a beautiful promise. Through God's promise He made Abraham a mighty nation. A nation greater than the sands on the sea shores and the Lord has blessed the nations, and us personally through him. As we see from Abraham's example, we can see that God expected him to command his children and his household to keep the way of the Lord! That through Abraham teaching God's ways that justice and judgment would be done in his life and all that the Lord had spoken to Abraham could come. As we teach our children the same and command our households in the ways of God, His word, and His way of doing things, we will see the promises of God made manifest not only in our lives but also in the lives of our children.
"Consider the sands", and you will find the great 'I Am' coming to you in magnificent ways of promise and blessings. Those sands not only represent every promise in the blessing of God to bless the families of the earth through Jesus Christ, the lineage of Abraham but, they represent the very number of God's household who He has adopted in through His mercy and grace... Our children are a part and our families are blessed in ways more numerous than the sands on the seas shores.
