Genesis 17 (Title Required Here)

I need to be very very careful.
Things are not what they always appear.
A pattern has emerged and I am loath to discuss further.
I have discovered I need to be interesting.
Statistics that I have only partly made up, would indicate a lack of, shall we say, interest in any posts that don't have a title other than Genesis (enter number here).
Perplexing.
Even more perplexing is how to make a glass of latte last longer.
Especially those really good ones that come out just right.
And even more perplexing than that is that I am starting to care how many people check out what I write.
This wasn't meant to occur.
I am suppose to be oblivious to any sort of repeat readership.
This is meant to be all about me.
My thoughts to me.
However I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who continue to click on my links and flick through the pages and have a giggle or think "wow how interesting" or "gee how cool is this Steve dude" or "I don't think I could ever watch ABC3 now". I would also like to thank my wife and my mum and dad and my little sister who continues to challenge me through life and finally I'd like to say "You love me. You really really love me"
Sorry where was I.
Oh yes. It was all about me.
I'll get over it.
Pretty quickly no doubt.

Genesis 17
Abram's covenant with God brings about a change of name.
Abraham, father of a multitude is not just a new name. It's a promise.
Sort of like if I changed my name from Steve to Godwillalwaysloveme.
Sort of.
I can see the confusion in Abram as he tries to comprehend the seemingly impossible.
I'm 99 and You say I will father a multitude?!
My wife is not just old but barren and we will parent a multitude?!
Where's the camera?
Am I being Punk'd? Ashton is that you? You guys!
Yet it is a name change that confirms a promise that confirmed what God has been telling Abram for years.
God's promises are forever and they will never change.
What He told Abram early on, He repeated to Abraham.
We need to remember His timing, not ours.
He doesn't neglect or forget.

Thank You.
