October 18: The Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. –Hebrews 11:8
How many times have you struggled with a decision because you didn’t know what the circumstances would be like? Worse yet, how many times have you made a decision with a decent level of certainty that you knew how the circumstances would work out, but then they didn’t? Abraham, we see here, did not know about the circumstances; however, Abraham and Sarah considered Him faithful who had promised. Abraham didn’t know where he was going, but he knew with whom he was going. That’s the promise we have in Christ.
And that’s the gospel! Come hear it preached and enacted in the Supper with Jesus this Sunday.
The related hymns we’ll sing are:
I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord
Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah, O My Soul (Ps. 146)
Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us
