Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Whatsoever you do, and wheresoever you may go, building an altar to the Lord must be the highest and the most urgent priority for as stated before we have limited amount of time between our entry and exit points. This is what faithful Abraham did, and by so doing he left us a legacy of service that all could, and should follow…. [Patriarchs & Prophets pp 141] Abraham’s house- hold comprised more than a thousand souls.
[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 141] Those who were led by his teachings to worship the one God, found a home in his encampment; and here, as in a school, they received such instruction as would prepare them to be representatives of the true faith. Thus, a great responsibility rested upon him. He was training heads of families, and his methods of government would be carried out in the house- holds over which they should preside.
It was necessary to bind the members of the house-hold together, in order to build up a barrier against the idolatry that had become so widespread and so deep-seated. Abraham sought by every means in his power to guard the inmates of his encampment against mingling with the heathen and witnessing their idolatrous practices, for he knew that familiarity with evil would insensibly corrupt the principles.
Jeremiah 29:12 Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
