Genesis 17 – The sign of our covenant

“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeard to him and said…’As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendents after you for the generations to come. This is my covenant with you and your descendents after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.”

Oooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch! The guy is ninety-nine years old. But seriously…God does require a commitment from us. Are we willing to make a sacrifice for God? Circumcision may not be the sign of the covenant that God is making with us. Maybe our sacrificial sign is moving to a new place. Maybe our sacrificial sign is changing jobs. Maybe our sacrificial sign is entering a ministry that makes us uncomfortable.

If God is entering into a covenant with you, then he will let you know what the sacrificial sign of your covenant is. The nice thing about circumcision is that it’s hard to forget. When God reveals your sacrificial sign be sure to remember it and keep it close to your heart.
