*Do It in Advance*
*Today's Scripture:*
There he built another altar and dedicated it to the LORD, and he worshiped the LORD. - Genesis 12:8, NLT
*Today's Word*
Abraham's story in Genesis 12 teaches us the importance of worshiping and thanking God in advance. When God promised Abraham that he would become the father of many nations, Abraham built an altar and worshiped the Lord, even before the promise came to pass. This act of faith demonstrates that true worship is not just about what God has done, but also about what He has promised to do.
