Search for the LORD and his strength…
Remember the marvels he has done…
O offspring of Abraham his servant…
He is the LORD our God…
He has always been mindful of his covenant…
The covenant he made with Abraham…-Psalm 105
Jesus said, “Very truly, I tell you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.”

Jesus answered, “Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; he saw it and was glad.” They said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.” So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple. -John 8
Prayer
O God, you have called us to be your children, and have promised that those who suffer with Christ will be heirs with him of your glory: Arm us with such trust in Christ that we may ask no rest from his demands and have no fear in his service; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
