Abram Blessed By Melchizedek

Genesis 14:19

“He blessed him and said, ‘Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth;’”

Here Melchizedek, the king and priest, blessed Abram, who, unknown to him (Abram) at the time, was to be the father of Isaac, grandfather of Israel and that Christ should descend from him (Genesis 12:3, 22:18).

Some have misunderstood this verse, thinking it meant that Abram is the “possessor of heaven and earth,” but that’s not what it means. It is “God Most High” who owns the title to everything, including you and me.

If we will just entrust ourselves to Him, we will be “blessed” with the blessings that come from God.

The Truth

“Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.” (Psalm 37:5)
