This lesson comes from Genesis 15:1- 17:27
Situation: God promised descendants and land to the aging traveler, Abram. Despite God's promise to him, nagging doubt caused Abram to waver between shortsighted compromise and obedient faith.
Observation: God keeps his promises and rewards our obedient faith. When God promises to direct our paths, we can be confident he will carefully lead us.
Inspiration: God is our lifeguard.... God's promises are like life preservers. They keep the soul from sinking into the sea of discouragement.... When your perspective becomes distorted and your problems begin to consume your entire field of vision, you need a perspective preserver. When it feels like God has deserted you and you begin to get discouraged, you will find that God's promises will always pull you out and bring you back to safety. God is a promise keeper.
Application: Make a list of seven key promises to you from God's Word and commit them to memory, one a day for a week. Make one promise your motto for the week. Have confidence that God will do what he said. Use the promise to share your faith with someone.
Exploration: Romans 4; Galatians 3; Hebrews 11
