A Unique Blessing

“And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 NKJV

Promises, promises, the world is full of promises. There are promises of peace, prosperity, a chicken in every pot and the whitest teeth ever to be seen. Promises are easy to make and hard to keep. Most promises have a disclaimer, the giant “if clause”. If circumstances change or if you don’t use this product only during the full moon just before the vernal equinox in years ending with a zero the promises are voided. Genesis teaches us that God is not like that.

God told Noah that there would be seedtime and harvest as long as the earth remained. There has, and that is a long time to keep a promise. God promised Abram that all the world would be blessed through Him. Jesus is of the family of Abraham and the promise has been kept. There were no codicils to God’s promise to Abraham. Through generations of sinful descendants, persecution of those descendants, exile of those descendants and near extinction of those descendants, Jesus was still born when and where God said He would be. Jesus is the seed of Abraham and He is the Savior of the world. More has been done to bless all mankind through Jesus Christ than through any other person who ever lived. On top of that He not only can bless in this life, but will give eternal life to all who believe in Him. That is a blessing that cannot be topped.

Dear Father, Thank You for always keeping Your promises. Amen
