In Genesis 12, God called Abram out of the city of Ur of the Chaldees, near the mouth of the Euphrates River, to go to the land God would show him; the land of Canaan, later known as the land of Israel.

Abram arrived in the land of Canaan when he was 75 years old. His nephew, Lot, was with him. In the course of time, their livestock and herds grew significantly, and a conflict arose between the herdsmen of Abram and the herdsmen of Lot.

Not wanting a conflict between them, Abram offered that Lot could choose whichever land he wanted, and Abram would take what remained. Lot chose the Jordan River Valley and settled in the city of Sodom.

Lot soon found himself in trouble, however, when an alliance of Kings from Mesopotamia led by a man named, Chedorlaomer, attacked Sodom and the surrounding cities. Lot and his family were taken captive.

A fugitive escaped and alerted Abram that his nephew, Lot was in trouble. Abram had more than 300 servants and he led them out in pursuit. He overtook them in an area far to the north and Abram and his men rescued his nephew, Lot.

In Genesis 15, Abram has just come from the battle and must now be on guard. Would these kings mount an attack in retaliation? That is common in the Middle East, even today, which is why we are seeing an escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran.

God comes to Abram in a vision and once again gives him promises on which Abram must learn to stand. In these verses, we see Abram growing in faith and increasing in blessing as he does.

There is practical application for us in these verses because we all need to grow in our faith. Abraham is called the father of our faith and given as an example of a man who takes God at his word and believes what God says, but at the same time, he doesn’t start out as a pillar of faith, he grows in his faith.
