概要

 Come, Follow Me Moms February 16–22 Genesis 12–17; Abraham 1–2 “To Be a Greater Follower of Righteousness” Welcome back to another week of Come, Follow Me Moms... your weekly scripture study podcast where we dig into the meat and potatoes of the lesson (and yes… potatoes are one of the only things staying down right now 😂 Pregnancy life!). This week we are in: Genesis 12–17 Abraham 1–2 (Pearl of Great Price) And wow there is so much to unpack. This episode is about: ✨ Covenants ✨ Identity ✨ Waiting ✨ Becoming ✨ And a God who is NEVER late “This isn’t just Abraham’s story. This is your covenant story.” 🗺️ Quick Overview of the Story Terah begat Abram (later Abraham), Nahor, and Haran (Genesis 11:27). Abraham’s father worshipped false gods and even attempted to sacrifice him. The Lord (Jesus Christ) saved Abraham. Abram and Sarai (later Sarah) leave their homeland with Lot. They prosper and become wealthy. Lot chooses the lush land near Sodom and Gomorrah. Abram takes the less desirable land. Lot is captured. Abram takes 318 trained men to rescue him. Melchizedek blesses Abram. God promises seed as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5). Sarah struggles with barrenness. Hagar bears Ishmael. At age 99, Abram’s name is changed to Abraham. Sarai becomes Sarah. The Abrahamic Covenant is renewed. Isaac is promised. So much covenant. So much grace. So much waiting. Righteous Desire Is the Starting Point 📖 Abraham 1:2 “I sought for the blessings of the fathers… desiring to be a greater follower of righteousness.” Abraham did not start perfect. He started with desire. He came from: Dysfunction Idolatry Family trauma And yet he chose righteousness. 💛 For moms: Your background does not determine your covenant future. President Emily Belle Freeman reminds us that covenant is not about perfection, it’s about walking with Christ. Emily Belle Freeman Talks https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2023/10/42freeman?lang=eng Covenants are not a finish line. They are an invitation to walk with Him. Your desire to follow Christ counts. What Is the Abrahamic Covenant? 📖 Genesis 12:1–3 📖 Abraham 2:9–11 📖 Genesis 17:1–8 President Russell M. Nelson taught that the Abrahamic Covenant includes: Link to Talk : https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1995/04/children-of-the-covenant?lang=eng Land (inheritance) Posterity (eternal increase) Priesthood authority A great name Exaltation And most importantly… “Thou shalt be a blessing.” 🔥 The covenant is not about privilege. It is about responsibility. Not: “I’m better.” But: “I will bless others.” You are covenant women not to sit in comfort, but to bless your homes, your neighborhoods, and the world. Covenant = Relationship, Not Transaction 📖 Genesis 15:17 In ancient covenants, both parties walked between divided animals. But in Genesis 15? Only the Lord walked through. Abraham did not. This is grace. God was saying: “I will carry this.” “I will fulfill this.” “I will be your shield and your exceeding great reward.” (Genesis 15:1) Brad Wilcox beautifully taught: Link to Brad Wilcox talk: https://youtu.be/yLXr9it_pbY?si=p7dIAGTQI_sdRKAR “We are not earning heaven; we are learning heaven.” “Christ doesn’t make up the difference; Christ makes all the difference.” “Heaven is not a prize for the perfect but a home for the faithful.” “Christ’s grace is sufficient.” The covenant was never about Abraham performing perfectly. It was about God binding Himself to Abraham. Covenants are not “If I do this, God owes me that.” Covenants are “I bind myself to Christ, and He binds Himself to me.” God Is Never Late Abraham and Sarah waited decades. 📖 Genesis 15:5–6 📖 Hebrews 11:8–13 📖 Genesis 17:15–19 Sarah laughed. Abraham questioned. They tried to fix things with Hagar. But God’s timing is perfect. He is never early. He is never late. He is always on time. TobyMac sings it: “It may be midnight or mid-day… He’s never early, never late… Help is on the way.” Link to Toby Mac Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVgetIvEIAs&list=RDaVgetIvEIAs&start_radio=1 Forrest Frank sings: “You never late, You always on time.” Link to Forrest Franks Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUvQ4Fw3KA0&list=RDOUvQ4Fw3KA0&start_radio=1 💛 To the mom who feels: Overlooked Forgotten Delayed Still praying Waiting is not punishment. Waiting is preparation. Covenant sustains us while we wait. Identity Shift 📖 Genesis 17:5 Abram → Abraham Exalted Father → Father of a Multitude 📖 Genesis 17:15 Sarai → Sarah (Princess) God changes names when He changes identity. You are: A daughter of God A child of the covenant Bound to Him with everlasting ties You belong to Him. Be a Blessing 📖 Genesis 12:2 📖 Abraham 2:11 “Be thou a blessing.” Being a blessing looks like: Not ...
