January 23
Genesis 23:1-24:27, Matthew 14:22-15:11
Thought from Today's Old Testament Passage:
The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence [Gen. 24:7].
Abraham is really a man of faith. He demonstrates it again and again, and here he is magnificent. He says to this servant, "You can count on God to lead you. God has promised me this." Abraham is not taking a leap in the dark—faith is not a leap in the dark. It must rest upon the Word of God. Many people say, "I believe God, and it will come to pass." That's fine. It is wonderful for you to believe God, but do you have something in writing from Him? Abraham always asked for it in writing, and he had it in writing from God. God had made a contract with him. Abraham is really saying, "God has promised me that through my seed Isaac He is going to bring a blessing to the world. You can be sure of one thing: God has a bride back there for Isaac." You see, Abraham rests upon what God has said. We need to not be foolish today. Faith is not foolishness. It is resting upon something. It is always reasonable. It is never a leap in the dark. It is not betting your life that this or that will come to pass. It is not a gamble; it is a sure thing. Faith is the real sure thing. Abraham is sure. (J.

Heaven: What will it be like?
Have you ever wondered what Heaven will be like? The city at the center of our future Heaven is called the New Jerusalem. According to the Bible, the ground level of that city will be nearly two mission square miles. That is forty times bigger than England and fifteen thousand times bigger than London. But remember, that's just the ground level. In "Heaven, What Will It Be Like?" Dr Randy Alcorn helps to answer your questions, clear up wrong ideas many have about heaven and explores the specific details God gives us in the Bible.
