Abraham 1:18
“Behold, I will lead thee by my hand, and I will take thee, to put upon thee my name, even the Priesthood of thy father, and my power shall be over thee.“
I Pray in Faith, Children’s Songbook page 14
Instead of worshiping God, Abram’s father and other Egyptians worshiped false gods. They tried to offer Abram as a sacrifice to their gods, but Abram prayed to God for help. He wanted to be righteous even though members of his family were wicked. An angel appeared and rescued Abram. God told Abram to leave and go to another land. He promised to lead him and help him.
Abram married Sarai, and they were both faithful to God. God made a covenant with Abram and Sarai, changing their names to Abraham and Sarah. He promised to make their posterity as numerous as the stars in the sky and to give them the land of Caanan. This covenant is called the Abrahamic Covenant, and it means that God promises to be our God if we promise to be His people. He will lead us if we follow Him in faith.
“I invite you to remember to be faithful, to turn your life to the Savior and build your foundation on Him. Remember to be prayerful in your journey and serve others along the way.” Elder José A. Teixeira
