The Covenantal Son (Genesis 21:1-3)
Before Abraham left Haran, God promised him a land and innumerable descendants. Several times over a period of 25 years, God reaffirmed His promise. Now, Sarah had given birth to a son!
So Abraham Prayed and God Healed Abimelech (Genesis 20:1-7)
So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech . . .
Why did you laugh? (Genesis 18:10-14)
The announcement was no surprise to Abraham. He had heard it only a few days earlier. The message was for Sarah.
Then Abraham Fell on His Face and Laughed (Genesis 17)
God said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.”
FOUNDATION: The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Let the God of My Salvation Be Exalted (Psalm 18)
Like the author of the 18th Psalm, Abram learned that he could trust God in every situation. The longer he walked with God the stronger his faith became.
The Promised Land (Genesis 15:18-21)
The fact that Abram’s descendants would live outside the land for 400 years is immaterial. God defines the land as an eternal possession.
