God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
DAY 45 WRITTEN BY: ERICA SUMMEROUR-
Exodus 3:2, 6
Then the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire within a bush. As Moses looked, he saw that the bush was on fire but was not consumed...
...Then he continued, “ I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.

Moses had spent roughly 40 years taking care of his father-in-law’s sheep when he met God in the wilderness of Midian. At this time, the Israelites had been living in Egypt for around 430 years.
Through a truly humbling display of His supernatural power, God spoke to Moses, and identified Himself as the one that the people of Israel had been waiting for —the God of Moses’ ancestors.
The God of Abraham, who promised to increase the family of this childless man to a number greater than all the stars in the sky, and to bless all the nations of the Earth by his descendants.
The God of Isaac, who because of the faithfulness of his father, promised to give the land given to Abraham to Isaac and his descendants forever.
The God of Jacob, who promised to bring kings from the lineage of this second born, birthright stealing son— including the King of Kings!
God kept all of His promises to these men, and He continues to keep them to this very day.
What does the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob promise us?
● We are promised adoption into the family of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
● We are promised forgiveness of our sins and a restored relationship with God.
● We are promised peace and guidance through the Holy Spirit.
● We are promised eternal life through His Son, Jesus.
God did not forget His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He fulfilled them completely and with perfect timing. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a promise keeper.

Loving Father, help me to remember that nothing changes your promises: not the passage of time, not my sin, not my circumstances, and not the plans of other people. Thank you, Lord, for being a true promise keeper and reminding me that you are the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
