he is

I really like the way this chapter starts off; when God says:

Don't be afraid Abram
I am your shield
Your very great reward

You know what I find cool about this? What would you think if someone were to talk about themselves in the way that God did in this statement. For example:
What if I were to come up to you and say something like this "Hello. Im jenna,but dont be worried. I will protect you. And also, I am an extremely awesome friend to have."

Ok for one thing yall all know me. Would you feel really secure by me saying that I will protect you? I don't think so. Most the time I will just run away and leave my friends if danger comes. Its true (Some of you have experienced this)
And then Im pretty sure you would definately think that maybe saying being an EXTREMELY AWESOME friend may be pushing it a little bit too far. (because you know my faults.)
And not to mention you would probably think by me saying all that, that I was extremely big headed.
So what in the world am I getting at?

God can say these things because HE IS! He is blameless and he is all powerful. We dont laugh or think yea right when God says these things. Its pretty awesome to think that no one on earth can even measure up to these standards.. only our God. No one can say
Dont be afraid: I am your shield: Your very great reward
Without us thinking... "pssshhhhhhhhhhhh"

Thats why I put my trust in God. He can back up what he says, we cannot find any fault in him. What he says is truth, and if he is the only one that can be like this; thats who I want to follow.


Its November 10th and I am not a shield OR your great reward.
