Genesis 13:14-18; 15; 17; 21:1-6

This is Abram. Who will later be known as Abraham. When Abram was in the land called Canaan, God told him to look over the land as far as his eyes could see. God promised that the land would be blessed and that Abram would have many children.
Many years passed and Abram and Sarai were very old and still had no children. God appeared to Abram and said, “Do not be afraid! I am your shield. A son is coming. Look at the heavens and count the stars. Someday you will have as many children as there are stars in the sky.”
Years later, Abram and Sarai still had no children. God appeared to Abram again and told Abram that his name would no longer be Abram but it would be Abraham, which means “Father of many nations.” God also told Abraham that Sarai’s name would be changed to Sarah.
God promised to bless Sarah and told Abraham that she would become pregnant and have a son.
God made a covenant with Abraham and God gave Abraham a way to show that he and his children were part of God’s covenant. Abraham and Sarah did have a son named Isaac. God’s promises came true for Abraham and Sarah. Abraham became the father of many nations and from his child came children and from their children, more children, until Abraham’s descendants were truly more numerous than the stars in the sky, just as the Lord had promised.
