Abram's Big Blessing - (Gen 11:27-12:20)
When things are going well people sometimes say “I have been so blessed!” Before the blessing comes, though, how do you act, how do you talk, how do you behave? How we act before we receive the blessing shows something revealing about our character.
In season five we're learning to listen to and pray Bible stories or narratives. In our podcast we take time to listen to God's word, reflect on it and then pray it back to God as well as carry that word with us through the rest of the day.
Abraham's faith is famous, and three great religions are called "Abrahamic" because they trace their origins back to him (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). How Abram's faith begins is a fascinating story told in Genesis 11:27-12:20.
Abram and Sarai are promised great blessing and a land that their descendants would enjoy...even before they had any descendants. Some of the early steps they took after arriving in that land (Canaan) and sojourning in another (Egypt) show that they struggled with how to trust God for the blessing he had in mind for them.
