The series on Genesis, Pastor Harris today did continue
Focusing on chapter fifteen verse one, providing his view
God told Abram three important things in this one verse
Of course they came in the form of a promise not a curse
By telling Abram to ”fear not” is how God did commence
Which is strange for Abram had not committed an offence
But sometimes we do the right things yet they feel wrong
Especially in this world, our principles seem not to belong
This can lead to a fear of missing out or lacking provision
Sometimes it can even lead to being the target of derision
God then said “I am”, two words to which we must listen
Followed by “your shield” which elicits a calming vision
In Hebrew, shield means to cover, surround, or defend
God has our back, on that fact we can always depend
Per First John chapter four, perfect love casts out fear
And God’s love is immense, from Romans five we hear
The passage ends with “your reward will be very great"
Although like the Levites, for this we might need to wait
For per Deuteronomy eighteen, God is their inheritance
But only God brings true happiness, don’t take a chance
