On Sunday morning, we looked at the golden passage at the start of Genesis 12. God called Abram to the land, giving him such incredible promises for the future. And Abram obeyed, despite being 75 years old and not having any children. This passage showed us God's grace in calling someone out of the worship of other gods to be his special person; Abram didn't deserve any of this. And it also revealed what obedience looks like, trusting in God's promises even if we cannot see how they might all happen with our eyes right now. God's promises to Abram were fulfilled in stages, with some aspects coming true even in Genesis, but focused ultimately on Jesus and his coming to pay for our sins. We can rest in the fact that we also have been shown such grace and are called to obedience. This week, reflect on the great promises of God, of salvation, of forgiven sins, and of glorious hope. Spend time thanking Him for the grace shown to you.
