Introduction
In this year 2023, we need more than ever to hold on to our faith and trust in God. One of the most encouraging verses in the Bible is found in Genesis 15:1, where God tells Abram, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.” This verse reminds us that God is always with us, protecting us and providing for us.
Background
Abram, later known as Abraham, was a man of great faith who lived in ancient Mesopotamia. God called him to leave his homeland and go to a new land that God would show him. Abram obeyed God’s call, and God promised to bless him and make him the father of a great nation.
God’s Promise
In Genesis 15, we see Abram questioning God’s promise, asking how he could be the father of a great nation when he had no children. God’s response was to take Abram outside and show him the stars in the sky, telling him that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars. Then God said to Abram, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.”
What It Means
God’s promise to Abram was not just for him, but for all of us who trust in God. When we face difficult times or uncertain circumstances, we can take comfort in knowing that God is our shield, protecting us from harm. He is also our reward, providing for all our needs and fulfilling our deepest desires.
Application
So what does this mean for us in practical terms? It means that we can face whatever challenges come our way with confidence, knowing that God is with us. We can trust in his promises and believe that he will provide for us, even when things seem impossible.
Examples
There are many examples in the Bible of people who trusted in God’s promises and saw amazing things happen. Moses led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, despite overwhelming odds. David defeated the giant Goliath with just a sling and a stone. And Jesus himself overcame death and sin through his resurrection.
Conclusion
“No temas Abram yo soy tu escudo” is a powerful reminder that God is always with us, protecting us and providing for us. As we face the challenges of this year 2023, let us hold on to this promise and trust in God’s faithfulness. May we have the courage to obey his call, just as Abram did, and see his blessings in our lives.
