Abraham's Covenant - Street Art

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.” Abram fell facedown, and God said to him, “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.” – Genesis 17:1-8

Abraham was given a divine promise by God, a covenant--all he had to do was trust God and have faith. He did, and the rest is history! For it is through Abraham’s family line that Jesus, the Savior of the World, was born. We, too, are called to step out in faith--to trust God even when it doesn’t make sense. Just imagine if Abraham had said, “No!” That single word would have changed the course history as we know it! Believe it or not, our ‘yes’ to God is no less significant. What is He calling you to today? May this beautiful image be a reminder that no ‘yes’ is too small and no task He asks us to do is too big!
