Abraham had picked up a golden key marked faith.” By it he opened heaven. Men of genius are as rare as icicles in summer. Abraham was not one of them. God is not the chairman of an exclusive club for intellectuals, but He keeps His front door open for anybody. He would never deprive Himself of the love of the millions in preference to the one-in-a-million genius. To have the love of the vast mass of mankind, the means had to be different. He makes Himself known to those who look up to Him in child-like hope. Abraham learned to trust God, and it revealed to him the paths of peace. In his day, cities existed by military might, founded on bloodshed. God gave Abraham a new vision, of a city of peace, whose builder and maker was God (Hebrews 11:10). His eyes scanned far horizons indeed. He was the first to discern the paths of righteousness, paths in the sea and ways in the wilderness. The paths of righteousness and peace have been found. They are marked and known. If we traced them back, they would bring us to the flattering tent door of Abraham, where God said to him, Walk before me and be perfect (Genesis 17:1). God bless you.
