And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it. And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not. |

Genesis 15:7–10 | ||
| ||
Like the one who said, “Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief” (Mark 9:24), Abram says, “I believe, but how will I know the land is mine?” I would think that at this point, the Lord would tire of Abram. I mean, God had told him He would be his reward, only to have Abram ask what He would give him. The Lord promised Abram a grand family and a glorious land, only to have Abram ask for proof. In answer to Abram’s request for proof that God would give him an inheritance, God instructs Abram to draw up the equivalent of a modern-day contract. You see, in Abram’s day, when two people entered into a legal agreement, they did so by splitting an animal in two, standing in the midst of the carcass, and clasping each other’s wrist to show that they were deadly serious about keeping their end of the bargain. If I were God, I’d say, “So long, Abram.” But that’s not what our Father does, and I’m oh, so glad. If God continues to be patient with the struggles and doubts of Abram, one of the giants of the faith who should know better, I know He’ll be patient with me. | ||
