Genesis 15:1-6  The Message

15 After all these things, this word of God came to Abram in a vision: “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I’m your shield. Your reward will be grand!”

^2-3 Abram said, “God, Master, what use are your gifts as long as I’m childless and Eliezer of Damascus is going to inherit everything?” Abram continued, “See, you’ve given me no children, and now a mere house servant is going to get it all.”
⁴ Then God’s Message came: “Don’t worry, he won’t be your heir; a son from your body will be your heir.”
⁵ Then he took him outside and said, “Look at the sky. Count the stars. Can you do it? Count your descendants! You’re going to have a big family, Abram!”
⁶ And he believed! Believed God! God declared him “Set-Right-with-God.”

 

For Reflection 

What we are we owe to God.   What we will become is grounded in God's will.  We are the promise of God.  We are the sons and daughters of Abram.  What we inherit we dedicate to God.
