Scripture Union Daily Guide 13 May 2022 MESSAGE
We are not told God spoke to Abram again for thirteen years after Ishmael was born. Read 16:16 and 17:1. This one came like a message from an old friend. DO you notice Abram’s reaction in vs.3a and 17a? ‘’As for me …’’ (NIV): How many “I will’s” of God can you identify in this passage? This is the practical definition of GRACE. It is an unmerited favour, and exactly what we enjoy through Jesus Christ.
For, if we know Him personally, we can put ourselves in the position of Abram and claim all these promises. ‘As for you …’ (NIV): What part did Abraham have to play for the covenant to hold true for him (vs.9‐14)? Circumcision is an indelible mark of ownership carried about in one’s body for life. It is to serve as a reminder that one is special to God. What does this mean to us as New Testament believers? Read Romans 2:28‐29.
Practice/Word Application
So: Appropriate to your life and family all the promises of God that address your current situation.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
• Covenant keeping God, please fulfil your word in my life and give me patience to wait for you.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Deuteronomy 15:6
