Abraham

It's Morning Father God
To Adam and to all men you gave
a worship mandate, a social mandate, a cultural mandate.
Out of the garden to the world we are to go.
Help each of us fulfill that mandate today.
May we worship you today in our personal lives
May we exalt in you sun and sea and mountain and sky and tree and bird and neighbor and friend and business associate
May we fulfill the social mandate in serving our mates, teaching our children, participating in community.
May we fulfill our cultural mandate in shaping the world with what we eat, what we purchase, where we go, how we spend our time, all that we consume. May we push back against the darkness by striking a match of truth wherever we are.

I am a child of the covenant.
You began with Adam, then Noah, and then Abraham.

Thank you, God, that I am grafted in, through Christ, as a covenant child,
one you chose....you chose to die for me, that I might live for your Father's glory.

Amen
