Hope your final exams are going well! ššŖ
After Abram defeated the kings, the word of God came to him in a vision and reassured him, āDo not fear, I am a shield to you.ā (Genesis 15)Ā
We fear many things. We fear getting hurt, losing out, or perhaps at the moment, failing exams š± God promises that if we are a person who walks uprightly with integrity and trusts Him, to us He will be our protector and security. Abram was such a person. He held on to Godās principles and rejected the King of Sodom even if that meant that he may have more enemies.
Abram trusted God when he was promised a child of his own. With such whole-hearted trust in God, he was blessed and credited as a righteous man before God.
May we all aspire to be like Abram, walking uprightly with integrity, and trusting fully in God that He will be a shield to the righteous.
