Genesis 19:31-32 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”//
Not trusting in God will cause us to do wicked things.

Genesis 18:19 For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”//
The Lord chooses us; it doesn’t appear to be the other way around.

Genesis 17:1-2 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.”//
God can work in our lives and change the world through us, even at a very old age.

Genesis 16:11-12 The angel of the Lord also said to her: “You are now pregnant and you will give birth to a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”//
Our actions have consequences regarding how our children will grow up.

Genesis 15:6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.//
Believing God can have righteousness credited to us.

Genesis 14:18-20 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.//
This is the first time we see the tithe in scripture.

1 Thessalonians 5:17pray continually//
I need to maintain an ongoing conversation with the Lord throughout my day.

Genesis 13:2 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.//
Having great wealth does not make a person evil, immoral, greedy, or bad.

Genesis 9:21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent.//
Even after being chosen by God among everyone on the earth, Noah still messed up. I’m glad I’m not the only one who still messes up after being granted God’s grace.

1 Thessalonians So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.//
I need to be aware of what God is doing and what He had promised to do.
