Bible Reading: Gen. 15: 1 - 6
Topic: You Are Not Alone
The assurance God gave to
Abram as we notice in today's passage was timely.
Abram may have feared
possible revenge from the Kings he defeated to rescue Lot.
Just as Abram, God
understands our fears and states of minds. He often speaks to reassure us of
His presence in times of trouble. He does this through His Words and other life
experiences.
God promised to be Abram's
Shield and exceeding great reward. Likewise, God will not allow the enemies or
challenges you may be facing to subdue you.
The realities of life
often becloud our faith. Abram may have given up hope of having children -
because of his and his wife's old age -
but before God nothing is impossible (Luke 1: 37)
Against all human wisdom
and limitations, God still assured Abram that his own son would be his heir and
besides, his descendants would be numerous.
God will change that
bitter water in your life to sweet water (Ex. 15: 23 - 25); He will cause you
to laugh and celebrate from that hopeless situation. Just trust and obey Him as
Abram did in verse 6. Your miracle is on the way
Prayer:
Strengthen my trust in You
Oh Lord and give me the grace to remain faithful till your time of visitation
Memory Verse: Gen. 15: 6
"And he (Abram)
believed the Lord and He counted to him for righteousness"
