GENESIS 22:15-18

15 And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven 16 and said, “By myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, 18 and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”

 
 

The Lord promises Abraham that by his descendants all the nations of the earth shall obtain blessing.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Jesus, centuries and centuries later, comes from the line of Abraham. The Lord is always at work!
