Now that Abram has returned back to the Promised Land from his stay in Egypt, he discovers that God provides for him there. He repents and continues life with his wife and nephew Lot until there is disagreement about the land resources.
Abram has demonstrated great faith by leaving his father’s household, obeying God and going to the Promised Land. His faith is indeed great, but he/it is still not what God desires it/him to be. So, God gives Abram his first test and he fails miserably. What does this teach us?
We move on now from God’s concentrating on the Seed-line to a particular man/family (Abraham). Abraham is the continuation of the Seed-line, and the further development of God’s desire for a holy people – the Israelite nation.
