What We Can Learn From Abram’s Covenant Promise With God
A new revelation to me recently.
I’ve started out the year reading Genesis. While digging into these stories, I found something interesting about the story of Abram.
Today, I am going to share a few scriptures right off the bat with you. Then, I will share with you what I am learning from these passages.
Before we dive in, a quick reminder, Abram is Abraham before God gives him a new name. This is the set up to the father of faith. So, let’s go from there.
Promise #1
“The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.” — Genesis 12:1-4
God sends Abram out with a promise and a blessing. Abram obeys. Even at the age of 75. He did as God called him to do and began to experience the blessing God had for him.
