Abraham stands out in human history as one of the greatest personalities. It was of Abraham that James the Apostle said "He was called the Friend of God".

Abraham was great through his faith, and that faith was at first but a silver thread, a tiny streak, an insignificant sinew.

But wherever faith is, it is the link with Omnipotence, the channel for Divine Communication; the wire along which the Fire of Heaven may travel. As it is used according to the promptings of the Divine Spirit, it will grow. It grew in Abraham. It will grow in us.

May this encourage those who are by faith the children of Abraham, to trust God fully, and obey Him until they can remove mountains of difficulty and achieve apparent impossibilities.

F. B. Meyer
(from his book 'Abraham - Friend of God')
