Hebrews 11:8

​It was by faith Abraham obeyed God’s call to go to another place God promised to give him. He left his own country, not knowing where he was to go.

 

​All of us, as followers of Jesus, are here because of the legacy of those who’ve gone before us.  Abraham is one of those.  And this week’s prayers are inspired by his journey as we in turn think about the legacy we’re passing on to the next generation of Jesus followers.  This means we’re compelled to ask the question- what are we passing on?   Are we stewarding the way of Christ well?  Is the way of life we’re handing on defined by the values we see hinted at in Abraham’s story?  

Lord, Abraham didn’t know where the destination was.  But what he did know was your presence and your promise of a better world.  

Our path is often tricky to see.  You call us to be faithful to you and your Kingdom without knowing exactly where we’re going.  And it’s sometimes scary.  

 

So, may our legacy be the same as Abraham’s.  That we’ll be known for having been a people who were faithful to your promise and presence even when we couldn’t see the destination.
