It amazes me how the Lord came to Abraham and they would just talk. They would talk about Abraham's future and the future of his children and his descendents.
God has given me a future. He has given me children. I will have descendents.
I found these texts to be encouraging.
"And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I AM the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect (sincere)." Genesis 17:1
"For I (God) know him (Abraham) that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgement; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he has spoken of him." Genesis 18:19
God gave Abraham the covenant promise. He has given me a covenant promise. He has an expectation of me though; to walk with perfect sincerity before Him and to keep the way of the Lord. These expectations do not save me. No, no it is only by faith that I am saved through grace. Although these expectations will be fulfilled because of my love for my Maker. The beauty of it is, I cannot even fulfill these expectations, it is only God who fills me who can.
