"Abraham stood yet before the Lord" (Gen_18:22).
The friend of God can plead with Him for others. Perhaps Abraham’s height of faith and friendship seems beyond our little possibilities. Do not be discouraged, Abraham grew; so may we. He went step by step, not by great leaps.
The man whose faith has been deeply tested and who has come off victorious, is the man to whom supreme tests must come.
The finest jewels are most carefully cut and polished; the hottest fires try the most precious metal. Abraham would never have been called the Father of the Faithful if he had not been proved to the uttermost. Read Genesis, twenty-second chapter: -
"Take thy son, thine only son, whom thou lovest." See him going with a chastened, wistful, yet humbly obedient heart up Moriah’s height, with the idol of his heart beside him about to be sacrificed at the command of God whom he had faithfully loved and served!
What a rebuke to our questionings of God’s dealings with us! Away with all doubting explanations of this stupendous scene! It was an object lesson for the ages. Angels were looking.
Shall this man’s faith stand forever for the strength and help of all God’s people? Shall it be known through him that unfaltering faith will always prove the faithfulness of God?
Yes; and when faith has borne victoriously its uttermost test, the angel of the Lord-- who? The Lord Jesus, Jehovah, He in whom "all the promises of God are yea and amen"-- spoke to him, saying, "Now I know that thou fearest God." Thou hast trusted me to the uttermost.
I will also trust thee; thou shalt ever be My friend, and I will bless thee, and make thee a blessing.
Sarah's Faith
Sarah's Faith
By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those disobeying, having received the spies with peace. And what more may I say?
For the time will fail me telling about Gideon, Barak, and also Samson and Jephthah, and also David and Samuel, and the prophets, who through faith overcame kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

While reading and meditating upon Abraham's faith, let us not forget mothers and women of faith such as Sarah, Rahab, , Ruth, Naomi and the mother of Jesus (The virgin Mary). Seeing it is Mother's Day; (2021 May 09); today.
Let us never forget our mother's whom carried us nine (9) months in their womb. Where they nurtured us. caring for_ _ _ Even loving us, before we were born. How tenderly had they nurtured us, while our days were neither, yet nor ever seen.
How they carried us, close to their bosom.
Even how they comforted us, with their tender heart and hands. Whether we were hurting, crying or simply rejected by our closest friends. When we are hurting, our mothers are hurting with us. A mother always carries her loved ones close to her heart. So let us honour them daily.
When and where possible, let us also care for them, love them for as long as they are still with us in this life.
Hope all mothers had a blessed, peaceful and loving Mother's Day.
