Do Not Be Afraid!

 

" Do not be afraid, Abram,

I am your shield,

Your very great reward."

Genesis 15:1

Why would Abram be afraid? Perhaps he feared revenge from the kings he had just defeated. Genesis 14:15

He has faced a powerful foe, who had taken his relative Lot as captive.Abram and his trained men went in pursuit of the enemies, attacked them and recovered all the goods and brought back Lot and his possessions.It was in this situation the Lord came to Abram in a vision and gave this promise.

He promised to defend Abram." I am your shield"

He promised to be Abram's "very great reward."

When you fear, what lies ahead, remember that God will stay with you through difficult times and that he has promised you great blessings.
