Genesis 14:23

Through several Bible verses and lessons, we read that God wants to bless us. With Jesus as our greatest treasure, we can be content and see all the earthly treasures as they truly are…blessings from our Father. This 5-day devotion series, shared by The Lutheran Home Association’s chaplains, each take a different approach to study the blessings God provided us.

This Guided Bible Reading Plan is designed to help you take your Bible reading experience to the next level. If you’ve ever read the Bible and been completely confused, this plan is for you. Within this plan each day you’re equipped with a full summary filled with context so you can have deeper clarity as you read through the book of Genesis.

How is God acting in your life to show He is with you—even in the waiting? God promised Abraham a son, and after ten years there was still no child. Abraham believed the Lord even in a situation that looked hopeless, and so was in a right relationship with God. In this study, look for opportunities to cultivate a life of waiting well and allow God to sustain you in the process.

The Christian life requires an immense amount of faith. Often when frustrations and challenges arise, we are left wondering where God is. Thousands of years ago, a man found himself in the same struggle. God had chosen Abraham for great things. But the man who would go on to become the Father of Nations had to first learn how to take the smallest steps of faith.
