Tonight, we read about the Abrahamic Covenant and about how, through Abraham's "seed," all of the people of the world would be blessed. But we also read that Abraham's "Seed" include all those who accept the Gospel, not just Abraham's literal descendants. If you want to be part of the Abrahamic Covenant, you can be (and, if you're reading this blog post, you probably already are), regardless of your lineage.
I love that God has such an open door policy when it comes to this covenant. It's not just restricted to this one, specific bloodline. Anyone can join. And it's probably just as easy, if not easier, to opt out, also regardless of lineage. God doesn't believe in forced inclusion or exclusion from anything. God believes in agency and giving people the freedom to choose what path they want to follow, regardless of whether they were born on the path or not.
I'm grateful that God makes His blessings and covenants available to all of His children, and not just Abraham's.
