God says to Abram, “I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.”
What reward do you want?
If God came to you and said, “your reward shall be very great,” what would you ask for?
In chapter 14 Abram had just turned down the plunder from Sodom and Gomorrah. He could have had gold and silver and flocks and herds. He could have taken all the plunder for himself – and as the victorious warrior, no one could have stopped him!
But he turned all that down for something better.
And so the LORD comes to him and says, I am your shield. I will protect you. Your reward shall be very great.
What's he gonna get?
Actually, the translation here may not help us understand exactly what God is saying.
Literally it reads: “I am your shield, your very great reward.”
What is Abram's reward? Abram's reward is better than gold and silver. Abram's reward is worth more than flocks and herds.
