"God is in the business of growing Abram into a man of great faith, and this requites circumstances where Abram must trust God."

- David Guzik

"Simple Prayer"

My son Gilbert was eight years old and had been in Cub Scouts only a short time.  During one of his meetings he was handed a sheet of paper, a block of wood and four tires and told to return home and give all to "dad".

That was not an easy task for Gilbert to do.  Dad was not receptive to doing things with his son.  But Gilbert tried.  Dad read the paper and scoffed at the idea of making a pine wood derby car with his young, eager son.  The block of wood remained untouched as the weeks passed.

The Lord's prayer, in Matthew chapter 6, is Jesus' substitute for hypocrisy and religious performance.

"You can know you have made God in your own image when He starts hating the same people you do."
