10 “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.”

 Genesis 15:1

 God reveals Himself to Abraham and confirms the covenant of peace between them. Abraham was a wanderer with many riches and flocks to his entourage. He supported many peoples in his riches and protected his family from all attacks. Abraham could afford to be bold, for the power of God was with Him and God promises him great blessings as Abraham lives for Him.

 God is the shield of Abraham and all who follow in his footsteps as the people of God, trusting in the power of God to meet all needs and protect from all enemies. God is the hight tower to which we can flee in times of trouble and pain. There is no other God like the God revealed in the Bible and we give all our trust to Him who never fails His people. Abrahma was instructed by God to not be afraid and to walk confidently in the commandments of the Lord. So we too can gain full assurance of faith as we walk obediently and closely with our Lord.

 What do we seek in life? Are we looking to this world for strength and protection? Let us look a way to our God and find Him to be our all in all. There is no other Saviour and as we look to Him, we are rescued for the errors of the age and the disappointments of this life.
