God Makes a Covenant with Abram (Genesis 15:1-8)

Abram trusted God and went to a new land called Canaan to call home. God said, “I will give you all this land and it will belong to your children.”

Many years passed, 25 years. Abram and Sarai were getting old. Abram and Sarai still didn’t have children. But Abram waited patiently.

God spoke to Abram. “Don’t be afraid, I’m your shield, your great reward.” Abram said, “Oh God, but I don’t have a child to pass it on to.”

God said, “Look up at the sky, you’ll have children as many as the stars.” Abram trusted the Lord and knew God is righteous, keeping His promises.

Abram was thankful to God for His promise and built an alter to give offerings to God. Abram fell into a deep sleep. God appeared to Abram.

God said to Abram, “For 400 years, your children will be enslaved and mistreated. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves.”

Abram trusted God throughout his whole life. He obeyed everything God asked him to do. God promised Abram many descendants and all the land in Canaan.

In spite of hardships, as long as we trust God, He will take care of us. Let’s remember to trust in God’s plan for us.

“Your children will inherit all this land, as far as you can see, and acquire great possessions. They will receive many blessings,” God said.

God made a covenant, meaning a promise, with Abram. God changed their names, Sarai to Sarah and Abram to Abraham, which means father of many nations.

Abram’s Starry Sky

Can you count the starts in your craft? Then, can you count the stars in the sky? No one can count the starts in the sky because they are too many. God made a covenant with Abram and promised to give him descendants as many as the stars in the sky.
