Promise 39 Gen. 17:1-2

Gen. 17:1-2 - "Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to Him, 'I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless. I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly'." When God appeared to Abram, He made Himself clear as to Who He is. The first thing He wanted Abram to hear was, "I am God Almighty" He wanted Abram to know that there is nothing that is impossible for Him to do, before He declared that the impossible will be done. But it wasn't Him that said this thing would be impossible, it was Abram that said (or at least eluded to the fact) that Sarah's giving birth at 90 years old would be impossible. The great promise and truth here is that, even before we utter the words, or even think them, "this is impossible!" or "Hopeless", God has already said, "nothing, absolutely, nothing is impossible for Me to sort out." God doesn't keep us from impossible situations, He doesn't need to because He has already declared the victory over it by stating His part in it. He is the Almighty - no one and nothing is mightier than He. Amen!
