Genesis 15:1 (NKJV) 1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
I just adore this word to Abram from the Lord.
Not only does He tell Abram “do not be afraid”, He explains why. Because He is His shield!
We need to know what a shield is before we can grasp all of what He is telling Abram.
A shield is a broad piece of defensive armor carried on the arm to protect against attacks. A shield of any type protects, covers, and defends from harm.
What is He telling Abram? I will protect you, I will cover you, and I will defend you from attacks and harm.
He goes on to say, “I am your exceedingly great reward”!
Can we say based on this that Abram had strong faith and was truly blessed as He obeyed God and what He asked of him to do?
Where do we stand today?
If God asked us to do something beyond our intellectual understanding, would we step out and trust Him?
Most times we don’t know until it happens; when the moment comes and we know without a doubt what He is asking us.
And though we may not know the timing in advance, we can be ready by staying close to Him at all times.
Let our faith be strong enough to obey, that we might see the wonders of God in our life today!
Amen.
