Today’s Reading

1/8/2019 Day 8 Genesis 21:1 - 23:20

Reflection
God’s plan continues for Abraham
  • Isaac is born
  • Slave and child is cast out but taken care of by God
  • Abraham is tested by God re: Isaac
  • Sarah passes and a long passage on a bury ground

Meditation:
Abraham’s faith is so deep in God that he is willing to do anything
that God commands him. I wonder if we would do the same?

Prayer:
O Everlasting God, show us your plan for us and give us the
Faith to implement it. Let us forever praise God! Amen

Canticle 19 The Song of the Redeemed

Revelation 15:3-4

Magna et mirabilia

O ruler of the universe, Lord God,
great deeds are they that you have done,*
surpassing human understanding.
Your ways are ways of righteousness and truth,*
O King of all the ages
Who can fail to do you homage, Lord
and sing the praises of your Name
for you only are the Holy One.
All nations will draw near and fall down before you
because your just and holy works have been revealed.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
