Genesis 15:1

DIVINE ENCOURAGEMENT. (Gen. 15:1-21)

After these things--the conquest of the invading kings.

the word of the Lord--a phrase used, when connected with a vision, to denote a prophetic message.

Fear not, Abram--When the excitement of the enterprise was over, he had become a prey to despondency and terror at the probable revenge that might be meditated against him. To dispel his fear, he was favored with this gracious announcement. Having such a promise, how well did it become him (and all God's people who have the same promise) to dismiss fears, and cast all burdens on the Lord (Psalms 27:3).
