SAA Notes
The words of 15:1 are well worth meditating on. With Abraham, we are given the example of his faith. We are also given the example of his stupidity. Sarah connives what she later blames Abram for.
SJA Notes
* Dear God Above, thank You that You came down here below – Thank You for being our shield, our strong tower, please teach us today from Your word.
“Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.”
These are words spoken by God to Abram that are for us today!
What wonderful strength we can feel from them.
That our Father in Heaven calls on us not to fear, though the storm should come and the tempest rage about us.
That God protects us, that He is with us. Our shield and defender, an ever-present help in trouble.
That we have a reward like nothing else. Eternal life, and life to the full! Glory awaits!
* Father God in Heaven,
Thank You that You are our shield!
Thank You that You have gifted us with eternal life, an inheritance like no other!
And thank You Lord for Your command to us, that we are fear not for You are with us!
You are the LORD our God, beside You there is no other.
Amen.
