God in a vision comes to Abram and reminds Him of what He is for Abram. Abram feels the weight of the promise delayed and offers a suggestion to God. God reconfirms the promise to him and then inaugurates the covenant with him.

Discussion Questions

  1. What two circumstances created some fear and misgivings in Abram? 
  2. How does the command not to fear relate to the other two truths? 
  3. How are each of these relevant to Abram’s circumstances? 
  4. What does Abram know is missing? How does he propose to help God fix it? 
  5. What fears are you experiencing, both without and within? How does God’s Word help you in these fears?
