Name & Bio

Hi there, I'm David Elliott, I am 16 and I attend Cambridge House Grammar School in Ballymena. I have been a Christian from my childhood not long after my adoption in 2002 and have belonged to Carnmoney Church since then and I love it. I am a member of the AV Team and a helper in many organisations. I am a Lance Corporal in the Boys’ Brigade and 2nd Squad commander. I have learned many things from attending the BB, one being "true Christian manliness"

Bible Passage

Today I have been reading in Genesis chapter 15:1-21 about God's covenant with Abram.

What did you learn about God today?

It starts with God speaking to Abram, to not be afraid, but Abram then is quick to complain to God, "Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?" Abram adds, that because God has not supplied him with a child, that he will have to give everything to his servants... But God has a plan for Abram. God promised that Abram will have a son of his own flesh and blood, he will have many descendants, as many as the stars.

How is this relevant to you today?

Abram had faith, but still queried God. God asked for an offering so that Abram would be reassured, Abram obliged, so he went and got what God had asked for. God spoke to Abram while he was in a deep sleep. He told him that he will not know his descendants, and they will be put into slavery but that God would punish the nation that enslaved them.

Abram had faith, and God rewarded him. Abram had patience and God rewarded him. God’s promises are reliable and we can trust Him all the time.
