Bible Reading: Gen. 15: 12 - 16
Topic: Divine Programme Revealed
Today's passage calls for
deep reflection. Our wonderful God has the master plan for our lives and so it
is in our own best interest to serve Him sincerely.
He showed Abram His
present and future plans for him and his descendants.
His descendants would be
strangers in a foreign land, be enslaved and ill treated for 400 years. Abram
would die of a good old age and be buried in peace. The Lord would punish his
descendants' oppressors and they would go out of bondage with great possessions
(Gen. 25: 8; Ex. 12: 35, 40).
The best thing that can
happen to you and your family is to walk with God. In life nobody knows what
the future holds in store, therefore it is wise to hold on to God Who holds the
future and reveals it to those He wishes.
Psalm 25: 4 says "The
secret things of the Lord s with those who fear Him and He will shew them His
covenant"
Serving God gives one a
great advantage over others. If we decide to follow God faithfully He will use
us to direct our lives and that of our families.
Divine programs could be
revealed to us if we walk with God as Abram did.
Prayer:
Take my life oh Lord and
let it be consecrated to Thee, Amen
Memory Verse: Gen. 15: 13
"And He said unto
Abram, know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not
theirs, and shall serve them and they shall afflict them four hundred years"
