Abram was almost 100 years old, which was well over half what he could expect to live. Though many years before God had spoken to him directly, positively, and generously, there had been some issues. He had made some serious mistakes along the way and it seemed like his usefulness for the Lord had expired. Apparently the son of Terah had blown it one too many times.
But he was wrong. God gave him another chance.
And as long as God keeps you and me alive, it means there is hope.
(Genesis 17:1--And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram)
