Knowing God

I believe the Lord appeared to Old Testament men because they had no Bibles.  God had to be more obvious so they would know He was there.

Genesis 12

96)  The Lord spoke to Abram!

97)  The Lord chose a land for Abram.

98)  The Lord chose Abram to make into a great nation and to bless.  He would make Abram’s name great.

99)  The Lord said He would bless those who bless Abram, and curse those who curse him.

100)  The Lord said all people on earth will be blessed through Abram!  (that includes us!)

101)  Once Abram reached Shechem, the Lord appeared to him again.  (Did Abram ever get used to that?  Would you?)

102)  The Lord told Abram,  “To your offspring I will give this land.”

103)  The Lord inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household because of Abram’s wife Sarai (she was taken into Pharaoh’s palace).  (The Lord lets man know when He is displeased.)

Genesis 13

104)  The Lord spoke to Abram once again!  (Can you imagine?)

105)  The Lord gave Abram all the land he could see.  He also promised many offspring for Abram.

Genesis 14

106)  The first priest of God:  Melchizedek, king of Salem.  He was priest of God Most High (another name of God!)

107)  God delivered Abram’s enemies into his hands.  (God protects his people!) 

WE SERVE A MIGHTY GOD!
