Afternoon Bible Study
In the Book of Genesis, we read about a man named Abram, whom God called to take his family and travel to a new place. God's promise was that He would use Abram's bloodline to form a great nation. God said He would bless Abram and, in return, Abram would become a blessing to others. He did nothing to deserve this blessing. Through God's love and grace, Abram and his family were blessed.

The nation referenced in Genesis 12:2 is Israel, and the promise that God made to Abram was fulfilled when Jesus came to Earth. Because Jesus came to us, everyone is invited to accept salvation and enjoy a restored relationship with God.

Although God's message to Abram was a one-time promise, His covenant continued from that time into the present, and from now into the future.



We can still partake in the blessings of God all around us, and we have the opportunity to share His message with the rest of the world as we spread the Gospel. God's blessings, whether they are spiritual, physical, financial, or something else, are meant to be shared with others. They were never meant to be hoarded and kept to ourselves.

Even when it seems like the world has refused the blessings of God, He still offers them freely. We can pray that others will accept His blessings in their lives as they pursue a relationship with Him. God always keeps His promises, and He has remained faithful through every generation.
Afternoon Prayer
Lord, when I look at the world around me, it seems like your presence is sorely missing. So many have chosen to turn away from you and toward a sinful life that is against who you are. I believe that you can heal this country. Help us to turn from our wicked ways and move toward your perfect ways. Then, we will experience the kind of healing that only you can bring. In Jesus's name, amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study
"Thanks to modern technology, when someone steps on our front porch the person's identity needn't be a mystery. In the U.S. alone, more than 120 million people have installed cameras and monitoring systems in their homes. This enables homeowners to decide whether or not to open their front door. We can even electronically open a door from a remote location to allow someone to enter even if we're not at home.

Revelation 3:20 portrays the image of Jesus knocking on the door to our hearts, waiting for us to invite Him in. Opening the door requires us to believe that Jesus is the Son of God and surrendering our lives to Him. Then, Christ will take up residence in our hearts and become our Savior and friend.
