(Genesis 15)

Abraham #3 - Sometimes following Jesus can feel like it is costing us greatly. We can start to doubt if God’s promises to those who love Him will be true for us. In today’s Bible passage, Abraham doubts the promises God has made him. God is gentle and kind and reassures Abraham by establishing a covenant with him. And God extends a new covenant promise to us through Jesus Christ. Jesus dies in our place so that we can have a new covenant relationship with God, like Abraham did. All we have to do is believe.

Memory Verse: “The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.” Psalm 145:13

(Genesis 13)

Abraham #2 - In this passage, Abraham and Lot represent two ways we can live. Abraham’s faith in God and His promises allows him to give up his right to choose the land he settles in. He gifts the choice to Lot. Lot makes the best decision he can for himself based on what he thinks looks good. Will we live according to God’s wisdom, even when it seems like we are losing out? We can live for the good of others and in peace because God promises to work things out for the good of those who love Him. And God always keeps His promises.

(Genesis 11:27 - 12:9)

In this passage, God tells Abraham to leave his home and follow. Through his obedience, Abraham is blessed to be a blessing to the whole world. When God calls us to follow Him, we should respond with humility and gratitude. As we follow Him, we should always remember that whatever blessings He gives us are not meant for us to store up for ourselves. God blesses us so that we can bless others.
