Day 16: Genesis 12-15

from Five Minute Bible Hosted by Kendall Lankford

What if God rebuilds the world one promise at a time? In today’s episode of Five Minute Bible, we return to Genesis 12–15, where the story takes a decisive turn. After the collapse of the world in Genesis 1–11—through sin, flood, and rebellion—God does something unexpected. He does not address the nations. He calls one man. No army. No empire. No explanation. Just a promise. Abram is called to leave what is familiar and walk into a future he cannot see. The gap between what God promises and what Abram possesses is vast—and intentional. Nothing about this moment looks impressive. And yet, everything about it will shape the rest of the Bible. As you read today, consider this guiding question: How does God move His promises forward when fulfillment feels impossible? Watch how God binds Himself to His word, how faith is formed in waiting, and how redemption begins quietly—through covenant rather than spectacle. The world will not be rescued all at once. It will be rebuilt through promise, trust, and time. Read your Bible carefully, devotionally, and joyfully—and join us tomorrow as the journey continues.
