After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; your reward shall be very great."
Leaving the comfort and familiarity of his family and home, Abram was led into uncharted lands filled with unknown peoples, some with unsavory motives. Facing even dissension within his own camp, uncertainty and doubt may have crept in bringing fear. But God, in His faithfulness, comes with a word of reassurance and hope. Like our Lord today, He is faithful to remind us that He is a shield about us. Why fear? In Him are the great blessings of an abundant life, filled with love, joy, peace and hope even in the darkest of times. The days we live in bring opportunities for us to pray for those around us, and share the good news of Jesus.
