The life of Abraham was characterized by failures, succes-ses, and triumphs over his enemies. Yet, by trusting the promise of God, he overcame his difficulties on his way to spiritual maturity.

Although Abraham's journey began centuries ago, many of his trials are like those experienced by people today-de-ceit, lust, broken promises, doubt, lack of patience.
