The Lord had blessed Abraham in all things

“And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.”

As we went through Abraham’s life we saw that he spent many years waiting for Isaac’s birth. He didn’t ever own any part of the Promised Land except for his wife’s grave site. He had to rescue his nephew Lot from enemy armies and was unable to save Sodom from destruction through his prayers, although God did save Lot (this was probably his true motive for trying to save Sodom). However, when Abraham was old we find that the Lord had blessed him all things. The great lesson is not how you start or where you are at the middle of life, it is about where you are at the end (see 1 Tim 6: 6, 7  “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we carry nothing out.”) The person who is content is the richest person in the world because he or she doesn’t want any more.
