Massive Hope for Massive Destiny
From Abram to Abraham
When God chose to single out Abraham in his generation,
He started dealing with him by giving him specific
instructions with promises attached to the obedience of
those instructions. At first, Abraham had challenges
trusting God. At this time his name was Abram, meaning
exalted father. However, it was difficult for Abram to
conceive an image of a son because it seemed naturally
impossible since he and his wife were already quite
advanced in age.
However, God was working at something. He continued
making those promises to Abram. The more the promises
came, the larger they got in this man’s mind. From just
asking for a child, Abram began to catch a glimpse of
God’s intents to make him have children as numerous as
the stars of the sky and the sands of the shore. These
pictures of hope engraved in his mind by God helped him
navigate away from natural hope (which was as good as
dead) to supernatural hope, and to accept his new name
Abraham, meaning father of many nations.
