Second Sunday in Lent Readings

The reading for this morning is Genesis 15:5 – 18 and Psalm 27 in response to this great promise. The only correct response to a calling from God is obedience without hesitation. Abram faces the challenging promise of God, which includes a long period of oppression and difficulty, with a stutter. He only sees the possibilities within himself. But, as he discovers, God is not limited by our frailties. He makes only God-sized promises and asks only that we trust and obey.
