God also tells him that he will have his own family offspring from the same line to take over his leadership. God also tells him in chapter 17 that he, “will be the father to all nations”. After the covenant is established with God, and Abraham gets older, Abraham realizes that he has yet to have any children. He is angry with God and wonders why he hasn’t had any children. His wife was very old and was barren and God promised him offspring as numerous as the stars in the sky and blood relation to take over his authorship over the nations. Abraham struggles with this for a long time and then finally God sends him a son so that Abraham’s name can live on. This shows how God keeps his promises and doesn’t forget them. This really gives us a big idea of who God really is and how important it is to keep our trust in God. Sometimes it is hard to trust God and that he’ll give us what we are in need of but if you rely on God like Abraham did you will see a greater result. God won’t disappoint those whom he loves. Looking over this just shows how important trusting God and leaning on him really is. God doesn't break his promises we just need the strength to keep going even if it seems hopeless and God proves this even more throughout other
