So yesterday Jon and I read Genesis 15:1 through 17:27. We read about God's covenant with Abram, Hagar and Ishmael and the covenant of circumcision. In chapter 16 we found it odd that when Hagar was approached by the angel of the Lord she seemed to be so calm, as if that was a normal everyday occurrence. Guess we will have to look into that in further detail. We also came to the conclusion that it would stink to be 13 (Ishmael) and 99 (Abraham) at the time you were circumcised. You would have to have great conviction in your beliefs to do that.
Verse that we really enjoyed from the reading:
"Do not be afraid Abram.
I am your shield,
your great reward."
-Genesis 15:1b
