Today’s Scripture

After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

Genesis 15:1-7

Today’s Thought

God is my rapidly increasing abundant money supply! The Lord tells Abram in Genesis 15:1 that He (God) is his (Abram’s) “exceeding great reward.” Usually, it takes several English words to translate one Hebrew word, but “exceeding great reward” is actually a translation of three Hebrew words. It is significant that it took three words to describe what God wanted to say to Abram. The Hebrew word for “exceeding” is the word mέ’όd, which means “speedy, fast or quick.” The Hebrew word for “great” is rabah, which means “increasing.” And the Hebrew word for “reward” literally means “salary, wages, or money supply.” What did God say to Abram? I will be your shield and your quickly increasing money supply!

Today’s Confession

Lord, your Word is powerful and I will receive it, in its fullness, into my heart. Thank you, Lord, for the rapidly increasing abundant money supply that you have promised me! I grab hold of the truth and promise of your Word and know that if you said it, I can have it!
