HIS PROMISE AND PLAN

Posted on

“Then I will make My covenant between Me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.”       Genesis 17:2 NIV

 

The Lord simply reminds Abram of the promises He has made to him in the past. He will make of him a great nation and He will bless Abram. This revelation and reminder cause Abram to fall at His feet in worship! Do we see His blessings in our lives as a catalyst to worship and praise? This covenant is one-sided. The Lord will bless Abram because He wants to! In other words, the covenant is good because it depends on the Lord and not a human being! Praise the Lord, our salvation is in His hands and not ours. Here, Abram receives a name change. His name is changed from “Abram”, which means “Exalted Father”, to “Abraham” which means “Father of a Multitude”. To Abraham it does not appear that this is the case. From the Lord’s perspective, it is a done deal! Notice the words, “You will be the father of many nations.” (Genesis 17: 4). Even though Abraham couldn’t see it, God had already completed His plan through Abraham. Life is never like we think it is! All we can see are the obstacles and the trials that we face in life. Our Lord sees our present as well as the future that He has already accomplished. The essence of faith is merely walking in the present, holding in our hands the things the Lord has placed in the future! Whatever we may be facing, our Lord has already taken care of it for you. We merely need to be patient until we arrive at that time where His provision is manifested.

 

PRAYER THOUGHT

Lord, teach us to be patient as we wait for Your provision.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Whatever we may be facing, Lord, we praise and thank You, that You have already taken care of it for us. Teach us to be patient until we arrive at that time where Your provision is manifested. AMEN
