A Covenant Not Fit for An Old Man | Genesis 17

from Back Pew Bible Study · host Jon, Matt, Nick, Nate

Abram is now 99 years old and probably feeling a little impatient with Gods promises because God comes to him, again and renews their covenant together.The name ‘El Shaddai’ (all powerful, all sufficient and giver of many blessings, rich and abundant) is used for the first time in scriptures.Abram fell on his face (prostration) first to his knees and then pressing his forehead to the floor in reverence of El Shaddai.Abraham gets his name changed—now it is ‘father many nations’—-what encouragement by the Lord!!The covenant that El Shaddai had with Abraham is renewed and as a sign of it—all the males under Abrahams charge are to be circumcised. God heard Abraham’s prayers about Ishmael (his son through Hagar) and He understands Abrahams concerns…we serve a loving and understanding GodGod Promises to bear another son through Sarah (who also has her name changed) Abraham laughs but not cynically, maybe in shock and happiness. We can safely assume this because there is no rebuke like we see with Sarah. Abraham humbles himself and submits to El Shaddai’s commands that VERY day. What a great example to us, don’t put off obeying our Almighty Savior.
