Follow Him - Follow the Promise

I will confirm my covenant with you and your descendants after you, from generation to generation. This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you. And I will give the entire land of Canaan, where you now live as a foreigner, to you and your descendants. It will be their possession forever, and I will be their God. Genesis 17:7-8

I will. That is God’s promise—confirming His covenant—to Abraham and to his descendants. He promised to be the God of Abraham and his descendants and to give them the entire land of Canaan. Then He says again, “I will be their God.” The God of Abraham’s family is the God of his descendants and of his spiritual family. God made Abraham a great father. Abraham believed and trusted in a God that he couldn’t see—yet he followed him to a new Promised Land. Abraham believed. Are you part of Abraham’s spiritual family? Do you believe with your heart what you cannot see with your eyes? Are you willing to follow Him?

Jesus said to his disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me." Matthew 16:24. Are you…or do you want to be…a follower of Jesus? Read the book of John in the Bible…and believe. For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16.

Prayer ~ God…Thank You for loving us…the world…so much that You gave up Your one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16. I believe. You are my God…like You are the God of Abraham…and his descendants.
