Genesis 15:1 (NKJV) 1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, \u201cDo not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.\u201d<\/p>\n

I just adore this word to Abram from the Lord.<\/p>\n

Not only does He tell Abram “do not be afraid”, He explains why. Because He is His shield!<\/p>\n

We need to know what a shield is before we can grasp all of what He is telling Abram.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

What is He telling Abram? I will protect you, I will cover you, and I will defend you from attacks and harm.<\/p>\n

He goes on to say, “I am your exceedingly great reward”!<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

Where do we stand today?<\/p>\n

If God asked us to do something beyond our intellectual understanding, would we step out and trust Him?<\/p>\n

Most times we don’t know until it happens; when the moment comes and we know without a doubt what He is asking us.<\/p>\n

And though we may not know the timing in advance, we can be ready by staying close to Him at all times.<\/p>\n

Let our faith be strong enough to obey, that we might see the wonders of God in our life today!<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
