Abram

  • God Just Has to Breathe

    Abram believed God — and then got impatient and made a mess. God went quiet for thirteen years. And I imagine Abram wondered: did I ruin it? Has God moved on? Then chapter 17 opens. God comes back — not with accusation, but with a reminder: “I am God Almighty.” And He adds a breath — the letter h — to Abram’s name, turning Abram into Abraham. The breath of God changes what had failed. Today’s devotional is for anyone who has made a mess of something and wondered if they’ve disqualified themselves from what God promised.

  • God Tests in Order to Entrust

    God told Abram to leave his country, his people, and his father’s household — and go to a land He would show him. No map. No destination. Just a direction and a promise. And Abram packed up the very next morning and went. No arguing like Moses. No running like Jonah. Today’s devotional explores why Abram could move so quickly — and what it means that God always gives the assurance before the instruction. The test is never the end of the story. God tests in order to entrust.
