MY EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Revelation 4:11

S - Scripture: Genesis 15:1-21
I [am] thy shield, [and] thy exceeding great reward ... And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness ... thy seed shall be a stranger in a land [that is] not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years ... and afterward shall they come out with great substance ... In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram ...
O - Observations:
He is everything to us, our exceeding great reward. Abram believed on God even though he didn't see his promised son yet, he believed God would do as he said.
A - Application for me today:
How would you like God to come to you and say, "I have a proposition for you. I am going to give you a son and many future generations, but in the midst of building your family know that your great-grandchildren are going to be slaves, but I will after 400 years, bring them back out and give them back this land you are standing on."
How many of us would say, "Thanks, but no thanks. No deal."
Have my children's children's children go into 400 years of slavery doesn't sound like a good deal to me.
How many of us are in situations that seem to be "slavery" that you wonder sometimes why God is allowing you to remain in this situation where you seem to be stuck. Perhaps it is a relationship that you are in that just doesn't seem to change and you can't seem to get rid of it. Perhaps it is a job that for some reason is just not as good as it used to be, but there seems like there is not a way out just yet or that God wants you to stay there. Perhaps you would like to move, but your house won't sell. Isn't God powerful enough to help you find a new job or help your house to sell or change or remove relationships from us? Of course the answer is a mighty YES, so why do we stay "stuck"?
Perhaps like Abram we just have to BELIEVE. We just have to say, "God you know the beginning from the end, I am yours, do with me and my family and my decendants as you need to." That can be a scary prayer, right? Afterall when God cut the covenant with Abram it says that a darkness and horror fell over Abram ... I think this was not just a "field of daises" or
"bed of roses" experience. I think something dreadful came over Abram as he realized or even perhaps saw in a vision or something somewhat of what laid ahead for his decendants.
I think the application for me is that whereever I am at today, God is here with me ~ my Magain Avraham ~ the Shield of Abraham, my exceeding great reward.
P - Prayer in response:
Magain Avraham, my exceeding great reward in every situation, I come to you on the basis of BELIEVING in you and your justness. You see the beginning from the end and when I feel "stuck" in a situation of "slavery" I know that my Redeemer lives! Your own body was cut in covenant for me and my decendants after me. May we trust in you for all things whether we feel we are in captivity or living freely. May we find you as our shield and reward always.
Majesty, forever I am changed by your love, in the presence of your majesty. The greatest love of all is mine since your laid down your life for me, the greatest sacrifice.
