A PROMISE AND A DENIAL
Abraham stared at the heat waves rising from the plains. His head nodded. “A nap would be nice, but the tent’s too hot.” A bead of sweat rolled down his side.

A Covenant From God
A few days after Abram won the battle to get his nephew Lot back home he dozed in his tent. God appeared to him in a dream. “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I will protect and reward you.” Abram’s deepest emotion surfaced in his dream. “Lord, I’m still without a direct heir. A boy born to… Continue reading A Covenant From God
