(ESV)\n\n        God called Abram out of idolatry in which he deserved\n   nothing but condemnation and eternal death.  Yet, God was\n   gracious to Abram and said, ``And I will make of you a great\n   nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that\n   you will be a blessing.''&#91;1] Abram, who was seventy-five,\n   accepted God's call and moved from near the Euphrates River in\n   the land of Haren and journeyed towards the land of Canaan.\n\n        For ten years or longer, Abram, his wife, his nephew Lot,\n   and their servants wandered in the land between Canaan and Egypt.\n   ``After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a\n   vision: `Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be\n   very great.'''\n\n        This comforting word of God given to Abram reinforced that\n   God's plan of salvation for all people would come from Abram's\n   descendants.  Jesus Christ traced His ancestors to David and back\n   to Abram, showing that indeed God's promise did come true.\n\n        Yet, when the LORD spoke these words to Abram, the\n   fulfillment of the promise was still far off.  God protected\n   Abram and his possessions, but Abram and his wife Sarai remained\n   childless.\n\n        This week we will see God's promise both to Abram and to us,\n   encouraging us to trust in Him.  May our Lord richly bless you\n   this coming week.  Amen.\n   ____________________\n\n   1.
