9 “And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.”

 Genesis 13:2

 Here in this scripture we have the man who was known as the friend of God presented to us as a man of great wealth. Such is the blessing of the Lord on all those who follow Him, are obedient and put their full trust in Him. Those who follow the Lord are fully provided for.

“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.”

 Psalm 34:10

 God promises full provision for us and will supply all our needs and more, out of His tender love and care for us. How much we have and enjoy at the hand of our loving God. Do we count our blessings and feed our faith through the knowledge of the Lord? Abraham was able to support the life of all that came with him out of the godless culture of Ur. So also we escape the godlessness of this life and are found rich in God.

 God does not set one human above another, but calls out to each person to repent and believe. This is the call for each of us that we will find ourselves in the kingdom of Christ and heirs of God with Him. Such is our great inheritance and we should live in the light of that. Abraham did and was known as the “friend of God.” He honoured God above all and gave a tenth of his wealth to the Priest Melchizedek and we also give of our riches to the Lord. Let us live in great confidence that the Lord will always provide and make us rich in Him.
