“After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.”
Genesis 15:1 KJV
Afterwards, the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision and said, “Abram, don’t yield to fear, for I am your Faithful Shield and your Abundant Reward,”. Yahweh assured Abram to protect him from any retaliation by the kings he had conquered. Abram chose to be hidden behind Yahweh’s Shield than to take refuge in what the world could give him. Because of what Abram had done by rescuing Lot and refusing to take financial reward for his noble acts, Yahweh Himself became Abram’s reward. This new, intimate relationship with God exceeded any financial loss Abram experienced. Because of the finished work of the Cross, we can now make the choice to choose the Lordship of Jesus Christ over our life, instead of the worldly pleasures. That’s when we come into that new intimacy with God. Let’s have that relationship with Almighty God in Christ. Amen!
