"All peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Gen 12:3
Four thousand years ago, God made a promise to Abraham. It is about to be fulfilled. It may even happen in our lifetime. For the first time in a very long time, the good news of salvation is about to reach every person on earth. You better believe Abraham is getting pretty excited. He's been waiting a while for this! We are living in the most exciting moment in this story. The entire Bible documents it, from God's promise to Abraham to the great multitude from every people in Revelation (Rev 5:9). We are closing in on the last frontiers of the gospel, and a four thousand year old prophecy is about to be fulfilled. Millions of believers are coming into the kingdom from every country on earth. They all trace their spiritual heritage to a step of faith taken by one man four millennia ago. Someday every language will know his name. Every tribe will tell his story. Every village will hear of the man who said yes to God--"I will go." And then he did it. It's the most amazing story ever told, and you and I have the privilege to be a part of it--a big part! The baton has been passed to our generation and we get to witness the milestone of getting to every place and person with the gospel for the first time in history. Generations before us have longed for this day. It is finally here. What this means for each of us alive at this time is very significant. Only one thing matters now--linking arms with our brothers and sisters around the world and making sure no one is left out. When God called Abraham, he probably had no idea where this journey would take him. He just said look up at the stars and try to count them--so it will be with your descendants. We are part of this spiritual legacy, and through Christ, part of this amazing family that has been called to bless all peoples with God's love.
Heavenly Father, bless the world through me this day.
