Gen 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
There is a great desire in all human beings to be appreciated for our achievements. We desire to be recognized for our efforts, input or even attempting to do something. When we get a reward we feel good. But it’s mind blowing when the reward is exceedingly great.
This is exactly what happened to Abraham. He received the best reward that possibly one could receive in their life time. Jehovah, the one who is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent became his reward. The one who is from everlasting to everlasting became Abraham’s exceedingly great reward.
And this is exactly what happens to all believers. The day we received Christ, he became our exceedingly great reward. Isn’t it great to know that Jesus Christ lives in us and in him we have everything that one could possibly desire in this life? He is Emanuel, God together with us!
