Genesis 14-17, Psalm 5

Published: Jan. 12, 2023, 5:05 a.m.

Today we get to see the Lord\u2019s faithfulness to a sinful man who doubts, who wavers, who makes poor decisions, but who ultimately responds to the Lord\u2019s instruction. It would be hard to argue that the Lord chose Abram because of his upstanding moral qualities, however, as his flaws aren\u2019t covered up or diminished. Instead, in God\u2019s own kindness, He makes promises to Abram, promises that will last from one generation to the next, on and on through the ages. The Lord makes these promises, not because Abram deserves it or because His holy hands would be tied without Abram\u2019s cooperate; instead, through his work in Abram\u2019s life God will show the world his steadfast love and sovereign provision.
