God's Covenant with Abram

Scripture:

Genesis 15
(Today’s SOAP focuses on verses 1 through 6.)


Observation:

Abram questioned God.

God didn’t respond to Abram’s questioning with anger or with discipline. God simply told Abram that, not only would Abram have descendants, those descendants would be as many as the stars in the sky.

Abram believed God’s answer, and was considered righteous.

Abram didn’t just believe God existed. Abram believed what God said. Abram trusted God.



Application:

It’s okay, even good, to bring my questions to God. I don’t always understand what He is doing. And He won’t always tell me. :) BUT, He is always faithful to keep His word, and believing Him is my job.



Prayer:

God, thank You for always being faithful. Help us to believe You, not just believe in You. May we walk in the righteousness of believing You each day of our lives!
