Worship into the Week- Fear Not

Worship into the Week-

God's Covenant with Abram

Genesis 15:1-6

Abram has been busy rescuing people- Lot and family.

He begins to wonder about his own offspring and heir.

Then the word of the LORD comes to Abram in a vision.

"Fear not, Abram, for I am your shield."

But, Abram is concerned about being childless 

and his heir is Eliezer who lives in Damascus.

Then the word of the LORD came to him,

"This man shall not be your heir, your very own

son shall be your heir."

Then he takes Abram outside and says,

"Look toward heaven, and number the stars,

if you are able to number them.

so shall your offspring be."

Then Abram believed the LORD.

This act of faith was counted as righteousness.

There isn't a "promised by" date on this, so Abram would 

simply have to wait patiently and trust.

Isn't that the hard thing about God's promises?

We always want to know when and how......

Lord, give me the ability to wait for your timing.

This is God's covenant with Abram, 

emphasizing faith and righteousness.

This passage highlights the concept of 

justification by faith, which is a foundation of 

Christian theology.
