Father, may I not place my works above you.
The workings of humanity are so easy to place above you Lord. With the intellect/reason you have given us, we have the ability to elevate ourselves above our own station by placing ourselves above you. Our intellect, the very thing that gives us the ability to accept you and become saved is the very thing that can cause us to place idols before you.
Lord, we can make all the plans we desire, but it is you who direct our steps. You will lead us where you desire us to go.
Abram was called from an important center of culture (of the world). From there you asked him to leave his family which was a significant thing for someone at this point in time. Abram risked everything to answer God’s call. Lord, may I be able to answer the call you have made to me. May my response be a true reflection of my devotion and love of you.
