Patriarchs, apostles & ordinary people converse with God through prayer. Abraham pleads for the preservation of the righteous few, even in the midst of sin. The Lord tempers His anger, assuring Abraham of grace. The church’s liturgy is also a conversation between God & His people, shaped by confession of guilt & the outpouring of divine forgiveness! The Lord’s Prayer is the axis where confession of faith, sin and pleading for sustenance converge. As the Lord instructs, we are privileged to pray. (Psalm 50:15, 119:45-49; Genesis 18:20-33; Colossians 2:6–19; Luke 11:1-13)

True wisdom proceeds from God & embraces the riches of knowing & confessing Christ. Our minds need not be fixated on earthly wealth or possessions; our behaviors should oppose earthly immorality, selfishness & desire. Constant fixation on our labors, accomplishments & assets is no more than vanity, leading to despair. Our image, knowledge & actions ought to be shaped by Christ Jesus, for He alone is everything for those who believe in His name. (Psalm 49:1-2, 7–8, 13–14a, 15; Ecclesiastes 1:2, 12-14, 2:18-26; Colossians 3:1-11; Luke 12:13-21)

Faith is a gift from God - a treasury safeguarding our hearts & minds, believing divine mysteries & plain truths, trusting in the judgment & grace of God, relishing things seen & unseen, and hoping for unimaginable & seemingly impossible blessing from God. Abel, Enoch, Noah & Abraham believed the bold assertions of God. The church continues in that lineage of faith, believing in our greatest treasure, Jesus Christ, who subdues fear & cares, forgives & restores. (Psalm 147:7–11; Genesis 15:1-6; Hebrews 11:1-16; Luke 12:22-40)

God’s Word accomplishes miraculous change. God declares that the barren womb of Sarah shall be great with child. Jesus, inseparably the Word of God, declares those once hostile & alienated to be holy & blameless. The counsels of God, once couched in mystery, now declare the glory, wisdom & hope of Jesus. Where the Word of God is taught in its truth & purity, we should be still, listen & believe God’s life-changing Word. (Psalm 119:57–60, 64, 105; Genesis 18:1–14; Colossians 1:21-29; Luke 10:38-42)
