Gen 15:1, After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, “DO NOT BE AFRAID, ABRAM. I AM YOUR SHIELD, YOUR EXCEEDINGLY GREAT REWARD.”
Pro 30:5, Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
Gen 15:5-6, Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS be.” AND HE BELIEVED IN THE LORD, AND HE ACCOUNTED IT TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Rom 9:6-8, … For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “IN ISAAC YOUR SEED SHALL BE CALLED.” That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; BUT THE CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE ARE COUNTED AS THE SEED.
Rom 11:19-20, You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith…
We have been grafted in to the family of GOD, we are heirs to and EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD! According to the world Abraham had no chance for a son, BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! MATT 19:26!
