| | | then the Lord said to Abram, "know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years. but I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward, they shall come out with great possessions. as for yourself, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age. and they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete." | | Genesis 15:13-16 (ESV) |
God's promise to Abram required much faith to believe. in fact, Abram would never live to see the result of this promise being fulfilled. yet, he very blindly believed God and gave Him the very best of everything he had.
we live in an age where no one talks about God's promise. does God promise such specific matter to anyone anymore?
another thought to ponder upon is, even if God were to promise such great abundance, would anyone today follow God and give Him the very best of everything like Abram did?
i wonder.. |
