Chapter 17

  1. God renews His covenant again
  2. Name change
  3. Making a great nation
  4. Circumcised
  5. God makes a promise with Sarah
  6. Abraham laughs
  7. Ishmael still is blessed
  8. Abraham obeys God
God still blessed even when we take matters into our own hand. We may not get the blessing we would of gotten if we would have waited, and we might go through a "rough patch" before we see the good, but God is the God of mercy and forgiveness. Abraham was 99 when he was circumcised. Now I don't know what that is but people say it's painful, and to do it when your 99! God said "every male" has to be circumcised. So Abraham obeyed. THAT SAME DAY!
