Genesis 14-17, Psalm 5

Episode Summary

Today we get to see the Lord’s faithfulness to a sinful man who doubts, who wavers, who makes poor decisions, but who ultimately responds to the Lord’s instruction. It would be hard to argue that the Lord chose Abram because of his upstanding moral qualities, however, as his flaws aren’t covered up or diminished. Instead, in God’s own kindness, He makes promises to Abram, promises that will last from one generation to the next, on and on through the ages. The Lord makes these promises, not because Abram deserves it or because His holy hands would be tied without Abram’s cooperate; instead, through his work in Abram’s life God will show the world his steadfast love and sovereign provision.
