Genesis 15-17

Devocional question:

Do you remember a time you ran ahead of God? How did it make you feel and how did it work out?

As we were reflecting on Abraham’s impatience and how he ran ahead of God, we notice that his actions lead to consequences. Consequences that corrupted Sarai's relationship, and lead to bitterness.

This raises the question; when I run ahead of God, does this lead to friction in my relationship with God? As I grow further from God due to this, do I become bitter when it doesn't work out?

To prevent becoming bitter and prevent the consequences that might follow. Be patient and walk with God and know that he has walked the path before! He knows what's waiting for you, and will prepare you for whatever you might find ahead of you! Know that God is El-Shaddai! Be a faithful servant who does her best to live a blameless life.

«When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life.» - Genesis 17:1 NLT
