Daily Devotional – Abraham’s Life of Faith

Abraham’s Life of Faith March 19, 2016  He went out, not knowing where he was going. —Hebrews 11:8  In the Old Testament, a person’s relationship with God was seen by the degree of separation in that person’s life. This separation is exhibited in the life of Abraham by his separation from his country and his family.
