Finding Certainty In Our Christian Experience -Genesis 15: 1-6

In this life, there's so much fake reality
but real living reality is possible to know
here Abram shows in what he received
was for real as much as falls of snow

God's word is living and active then and now
as Abram was told God is your great shield
bringing a reward that this vision proved true
for the Lord would provide an heir from His field

A promise was given by God Himself
that Abram would have His very own son
God showed him the skies high above
such is God's glory to will it to be done

This is our God being in our experience
giving certainty to our conviction so dear
showing our love to our God our saviour
so very precious forever so very dear

Jehovah Tsidkenu the Lord our righteousness
where once a stranger to God and His grace
this gift of righteousness so freely given
God is real and certain forever in His place

(" After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.”  But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”  And Abram said, “Behold, you have given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir.”  And behold, the word of the Lord came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; your very own son shall be your heir.”  And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”  And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.")
Genesis 15: 1-6 (ESV)

I enjoy the book of Genesis. The Old testament is almost like a story book - one can buy a story book of the Bible made simple for children, so beautiful to read to young ones as a night time tale! Was it not Abraham whose faith was tested by God when he asked him to kill his own son, and then as Abraham was about to, God stopped him? Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
