Scripture lesson: Genesis 15:1-6 The Covenant with Abraham
Time to Reflect: With hindsight we can say that this very unlikely promise from God has been fulfilled!
Moving Through the Day: It is always hard to trust God, but wouldn't we like it be said of us “And (s)he believed believed the Lord, and the Lord reckoned it to him/her as righteousness?” Practice trusting God today.
Scripture:
God’s Covenant with Abram
15After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, ‘Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.’ 2But Abram said, ‘O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?’* 3And Abram said, ‘You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir.’ 4But the word of the Lord came to him, ‘This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir.’ 5He brought him outside and said, ‘Look towards heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.’ Then he said to him, ‘So shall your descendants be.’ 6And he believed the Lord; and the Lord * reckoned it to him as righteousness.
