What This Shows Us
God appeared to Abram as God Almighty and made a covenant with him when the promise seemed impossible. Abram was old, and his own strength had run out. God's power, not Abram's, would keep the promise.
Truth to Remember
God's strength is far greater than ours, and He is able to keep His word.
Reflection question
Where have you been depending only on your own strength?
Guided prayer
God Almighty, I have been trying to carry this alone. I admit I am not strong enough. Work in me and through me by Your power. Amen.
