And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD. Genesis 13:14-18
Steps 11,12
Abram had been rescued by God in Egypt and returned to the land of Canaan – soon to be named land of Israel. God told him to look all around him and all of the land that he saw would be given to Abram and to his seed forever. His seed was pronounced to be numberless yet Abram had no children yet. Abram trusted God and built an altar to worship God and express his thank for the promises given to him.
Prayer for Today: Help us dear Lord to trust Your promises. Even though we can’t see them happen just yet, help us to trust You as Your friend Abram did. Grant us this gift of trust and help us to hold on to You no matter what we think we see.
