The Bible is a book for us, but not really about us. It is a book about God. The Lord chooses to reveal Himself to Abram. With every turn of the page, the Bible records more about the Person and Character of God. Here, He identifies Himself as “El Shaddai-God Almighty,” the Omnipotent One. What does it mean to you that God is All-Powerful? What do you face today that requires His strength?
“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, ‘I am El-Shaddai—”God Almighty.” Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life'” (Genesis 17:1)
Scripture for today:
Genesis 16:1-18:15; Matthew 6:1-24; Psalm 7:1-17; Proverbs 2:1-5
