The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit,
for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
Genesis 23:1-20
Pray for God to speak to you through
the reading of His word.
Read the passage.

Extraordinary Faith in Ordinary
Times
o
Did you know that there is very
little recorded about the last several decades
of Abraham and Sarah’s life. Most of
the time, living a life of faith won’t make the headlines. What areas of ordinary life could your faith
be stronger?
-
The Seeming Absence of God
o
God seems strangely absent as we
read about Sarah’s death. Many who have
suffered loss would admit that at times, it seems as if God isn’t there. Nevertheless, Abraham acts in faith even
while mourning his wife of decades. How
can you, like Abraham, manifest faith in the most difficult times?
-
Remembering
o
Abraham chooses to bury Sarah in the
Promised Land, because he remembers God’s promise. How can we live in a way that shows we
remember God’s promises?
Pray that we will have extraordinary
faith in our ordinary lives.
Pray that even when God seems
absent, we will act in faith.
Strive to remember God’s
promises.
