I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. Genesis 12:3
The nation of Israel begins at God’s encounter with Abraham. A descendant of Shem, one of Noah’s three sons Abraham, was a native of Ur, and an Amorite. The Hebrew sect was perhaps a subculture of lower socioeconomic status within the Amorites. Through this relationship of obedience and trust, God began to fulfill His plan to bless ALL people.
Abraham’s story is not a perfect one. It involves many things we denounce. Human meets real world challenges, and fails. Yet, forgiveness and redemption were and are ALWAYS available.
This is not just the story of a nation’s birth, it is the story of Good News. God loves you because He chose to. He is faithful and will never UNchose to love.
Have a Beautiful Blessed Day,
