Genesis – In the
Beginning
Chapter 15
By Carri Pratt
“I
am your shield, your very great reward. . .” Genesis 15:1
It
can be rather easy to allow what we don’t have to overshadow what we do have.
This is what Abram was doing in chapter 15. He was concentrating on the fact
that he would have to leave all of the material blessings, given to him by God,
to his servant rather than to a son.
“Abram continued,
“Look, You have given me no offspring, so a slave born in my house will be my
heir.” Genesis 15:3
Abram
was living with the fear that he would never have a son. However God reassured
him that He would provide Abram with not just a son but with offspring too
numerous to count.
God
is so good! He doesn’t stop at a simple blessing, He provides us with so many
blessings that they are too numerous to count!
Sometimes
we may feel focused on that one thing that seems unreachable. When we pray for
things we need or want God may answer with “Yes!”, “No”, or “Wait” to our great
pleasure or dismay. During those times, stop, count your blessings, and
remember that God is your very great reward!
