Chapter 16 - God promised Abram the Land of Canaan.
What do we learn from this lesson?
1. Sometimes in order to keep peace among families it is necessary to agree to
separate. But we must be sure to give our loved ones the choice of direction
they will go. This will keep the peace and still maintain love within the
family.
2. Having made such a generous yet difficult decision to maintain peace, we can
be sure that God will be with us and bless us in our new field of work.
3. Abram went after his nephew and brought him back from his capturers. Is not
this like anyone should respond to all the problems of life? Use our gifts and
talents to preserve life or to make life more tolerable.
4. Melchizedek gave Abram bread and wine to refresh himself and Abram gave him
the tithes of all he had. Has God Himself given all of us that which is needed
to enjoy life? Is the tithe too little a presentation for His greatness to us?
After all, it is His command.
5. How do we receive God’s blessings to us? Only to believe on Him with all the
heart, soul and mind and follow His commandments.
Prayer:
Dear Father, Some time we will face difficult seasons in our lives. We ask that
these moments will not overcome us, but through Your love and grace, we shall,
as did Your servant Abram, overcome and see victory in Your presence. Amen.
