Abram’s Name is Changed to Abraham

And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of the, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. Genesis 17:3-7

Steps 4, 5, 11, 12

God gave Abram a son. Then God promises to be with Abram and make him a father of many nations. As Abraham has been steady with God, God changes his name from Abram – High Father, to Abraham – Father of many nations. God will fulfill His promise to Abraham and though him many nations will be established. God also promises to be our God through Abraham, for we are his descendents by faith.

Prayer for Today: Thank You for bringing us into Abraham’s covenant with You. He was not worthy of this gift and we certainly are not worthy. Thank You for thinking of us and, working with us, we appreciate it when we finally see it. Thank You for making these arrangements with us and allowing us to enter into Abraham’s relationship with You.
