Genesis 17:1–18:33; Matthew 6:25–7:23; Proverbs 1:8–19

God formally establishes His covenant with Abram, changing his name and reaffirming promises that depend on God’s power, not human capability. Even Abraham’s questions and Sarah’s laughter do not weaken God’s resolve. God reveals Himself as patient, personal, and faithful to keep His word.

Jesus confronts anxiety, hypocrisy, and empty religious language by calling for wholehearted trust in the Father. True righteousness flows from an undivided heart that seeks God’s kingdom first. Obedience, not outward appearance or verbal profession, reveals genuine relationship with God.

Wisdom warns against the seductive pull of sinful gain and peer pressure. Ignoring godly instruction leads to self-destruction, even when it initially looks profitable or appealing.

God is revealed as trustworthy and faithful, calling His people to respond with wholehearted obedience rather than anxious striving or deceptive shortcuts. Across covenant promise, Jesus’ teaching, and wisdom’s warning, the call is the same: trust God fully and walk in integrity before Him.
