| DAY 8 |
| Read: |
Genesis 15:1: |
| |
After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid Abram, I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward. (NKJV) |
| Speak: |
Father, I thank you that You are my shield and my rapidly increasing supply of finances forever. |
| Think: |
If God is our rapidly increasing supply of finances forever, we have absolutely nothing to fear. |
| Pray: |
As I pray and seek You for guidance in the part I am to play in giving into Your kingdom, I will not be afraid to give. I know You are my protection and my exceeding great reward. |
| Grow: |
In Genesis 15:1, God said to Abraham, “Fear not, Abram: I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward.” |
| |
|
| It took three English words to describe what God was saying to Abraham. The Hebrew word for “exceeding” means speedy, fast, or quick. The Hebrew word for “great” means increasing. And the Hebrew word for “reward” literally means salary, wages, or money supply. God said to Abraham, “I will be your shield and your quickly increasing money supply!” God is simply saying, “I know you gave away a great amount of money, but I will be your reward. Quit looking to yourself or your money for security. Stop putting your faith in what you have in the bank, your own efforts, how many hours you can work, how young you are, or what you’ve set aside in savings. Those things are fine, but don’t put your trust in them! Put your trust in Me! I will be your shield and your rapidly increasing supply of finances forever.” |
