THE SERVANT OF THE LORD
September 3,1973
I was reading in my Bible this morning
About Abraham the Servant of the Lord
How he was faithful about everything
And how God gave him his reward.
Abraham had great possessions
And journeyed throughout the country wide
His grandson Lot was with him
But their flocks and servants wouldn’t abide.
When God created this world
He separated the water and the land
Some of it was fertile ground
And some was sinking sand.
When Abraham pitched his tent
He built an alter to the Lord
Made sacrifices to Him every day
And always faithful to His Word.
Lot also had servants and cattle
So his men and Abrams men had to split
Abraham took one direction and Lot the other
So the strife was ended and that was it.
Abraham was a faithful servant
Always obeying the Lord
It was imputed to him for righteousness
Because he obeyed every word.
He went out looking for a city
Whose builder and maker was God
In everything he was faithful
Until he was put under the sod.
One time He thought He’d test him
And asked him to slay his son
Faithful Abraham built an Altar
It wasn’t long until it was done.
When Isaac saw the Altar
He asked where was the lamb
His Father did not answer him
But was faithful to the great I Am.
Just as he was about to slay him
God immediately sustained his hand
And at that crucial moment
In the bushes there was a ram.
The moral of this story
Is to show us the right way
We should be faithful always
Each and every day!
