S-Scripture:  Genesis 12:3, “I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”  (NKJV)

O-Observation:  Genesis 12 begins with Abram.  God tells Abram to Get out of his country, from his family and from his father’s house.  To a land that God would show him.  According to Romans 4, Abram believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness.  Galatians 3 parallels with Genesis 12 by informing the readers who the blessing was!  The Blessing was none other than Jesus Christ.  Through the SEED of Mary, Jesus Christ would be born and all the families of the earth would be blessed by the promised child, Jesus!  Because of Jesus, sinful man has the opportunity to have the righteousness of Christ credited to our accounts!

A-Application:  I am grateful for the BLESSING!  Because Abram believed God….Because  (you fill in the blank) __________ believed God that Jesus would come, die for your sins, was buried and arose again the third day, according to the Scriptures you have EVERLASTING LIFE abiding within you!  I have EVERLASTING LIFE!  Wow!  Thank you, Lord!

P-Prayer:  Dear Lord, I too am among the people who have believed you!  As Abram believed in the coming Savior, I too believe.  I thank you Lord for coming.  Thank you Lord for loving me enough to die for my sins.  I am accepted in the beloved because of what Jesus Christ has done for me!  Thank you, again!  In Jesus Name.  Amen!
