And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven and said, "By myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
I just realized that the blessing I enjoy as a child of God flow directly from Abraham's obedience. And that my obedience will flow as blessing to my descendants for the promises of the LORD, God the Almighty are yea and amen forever.
