God Delights to Give

"And the LORD said unto Abraham, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up
now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and
southward, and eastward, and westward, for all the land which thou seest, to
thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever" (Genesis 13:14-15).

A special blessing for a memorable occasion. Abram had settled a family
dispute. He had said, "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between thee and
me, for we be brethren"; and hence he received the blessing which belongs to
peacemakers. The LORD and giver of peace delights to manifest His grace to
those who seek peace and pursue it. If we desire closer communion with God, we
must keep closer to the ways of peace.

Abram had behaved very generously to his kinsman, giving him his choice of the
land. If we deny ourselves for peace's sake, the LORD will more than make it up
to us. As far as the patriarch can see, he can claim, and we may do the like by
faith. Abram had to wait for the actual possession, but the LORD entailed the
land upon him and his posterity. Boundless blessings belong to us by covenant
gift. All things are ours. When we please the LORD, He makes us to look
everywhere and see all things our own, whether things present or things to
come, all are ours, and we are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
