Bible Reading: Gen. 17: 15 - 27
Topic: The Covenant Keeping God
Abraham was 99 years old
and Sarah, 90 years when God appeared to Abram and promised to give him a child
(v. 12) and gave also the covenant to make him a father of many nations (v. 4).
God changed Abram's name
to Abraham (that is from "a father" to "a father of
nations". v. 5)
Verses 23 - 27 show the
fulfillment of the covenant of circumcision by Abraham and his entire
household.
In doing this, Abraham
moved the Hands of God Who in turn blessed him at the appointed or set time.
The God of Abraham is
still very much alive and active. He will meet all your needs as you approach,
ask, trust and submit to Him through Jesus Christ.
God has set dates and
times in life.
Prayer
O God of Abraham, help me to
walk with You daily by faith as I go through life, Amen.
Memory Verse Gen. 17: 24
"And Abraham was ninety
years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin."
