| Summary: Today’s story of God and Abram suggests that God acts like the tooth fairy in giving a gift while the recipient is sound asleep. That’s a sign that God’s saving work is entirely by grace. Abram is counted as righteous because he trusts God’s promise that he will have many descendants. Finally, in the biblical story, God’s promises will be fulfilled in the descendant of Abram named Jesus, and those who trust God’s promise in him are accounted righteous. |

The world is very enticing and society tells us we must participate fully and succeed.

Thus, we must choose God over the world as St. Paul suggests in his letter to the Philippians. |

| Summary: We live in a judgmental age in which no one measures up, either to the expectations of the critical or to their own expectations. Insults are the order of the day.

No. God is the giver of all good things. Each one of us, no matter what we look like, bears the image of God. The trick is to accept and celebrate the good things of this earth without making gods of them. |
