I'm awestruck at the scene of covenant making between God and Abram. There is nothing that Abram could say. He is too mesmerized at the offer that he fell face down on the ground while El-Shaddai God continues.
God doesn't have expectations from Abram. All He asks is that he and his descendants would be faithful to Him. But He very well knew before hand that among his sons, there would be a deceiver and a not so serious about anything guy. There would be murderers, adulterers, idolators.
He very well knew nothing would change from man's side. He had already made a covenant with Noah. He had all the more reasons to break it and destroy mankind because the situation was only getting worse. But because of that covenant with Noah, he stuck on to His word. He knew destruction was not the solution. But redemption is. That is why He is paving a new way through His covenant to Abram. Without expecting mankind to change.
How ebbed with love is His heart?
He has stuck to His covenant till date. The one to Noah and to Abram. How about you? Have you served Him faithfully?
Even if you haven't. You can be sure He will stick on. Because He is true.
Look at the always loving, Almighty, magnificient God who looks at you with everlasting unconditional love with a tender heart, because of His covenant which He would never break.
Amen
