Promise of Descendants

After Lot had gone, the LORD said to Abram, "Look as far as you can see in every direction—north and south, east and west. I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession. And I will give you so many descendants that, like the dust of the earth, they cannot be counted! Go and walk through the land in every direction, for I am giving it to you." So Abram moved his camp to Hebron and settled near the oak grove belonging to Mamre. There he built another altar to the LORD. Genesis 13:14-18.

God promised…again. He had promised to make Abram a great nation…Genesis 12:2. Abram and Sarai didn’t have a son, yet, but Abraham is still trusting and praising the Lord. He built another altar to the Lord at Hebron. It must have been hard to have accepted God’s promise. Abram and Sarai were old. Did they think that they would have a child? Hard to trust on that one. I am blessed to have a terrific daughter and a wonderful son—whose birthday is today! Both my children are living promises from the Lord. 

What is the Lord promising you? Listen closely. Keep reading your Bible. Are you willing to obediently wait for the answer?

Prayer ~ Lord, I will walk…through Your Word. Show me Your promise for me. I’m building an altar in my heart to You—just as Abram built altars to You at Hebron and Shechem.
