[[-SOAP HUB]] [[Genesis 14]] ## Title: The Lord is the Blessing ## Scripture: (Genesis 14:22-23) But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I raise my hand to the Lord, the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth, and vow that I will take nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal. That way you can never say, ‘It is I who made Abram rich.’ (NET) ## Observation: Abraham was living his life in a way that everyone knew all he had came from the Lord. He continues it in this passage by saying he will not receive a reward from these people so they cannot take credit for Abraham’s blessing. While it is fine to receive gifts from others, it is always important to remember where the true blessings come from. All good gifts come from the Lord. ## Application: See everything in life as a gift from the Lord. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always providing for all our true needs.
