ReplyDeleteGenesis 20:12:
"And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. "
I did not realize Sarah was Abraham's half sister. How long I wonder was it before God spoke to Abimalech?
Luke 11:40
ReplyDeleteFoolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also? -- Jesus comment on not washing. I wonder if I could use this excuse for my preschoolers. - "hey, God made the dirt too!".
Woe:
- to me when I make a big deal out of doing things just right, and forget to reach out to my neighbor (or my kids) with love.
- to me when I rudely vie for the shorter line at the store.
- to me when I make my kids do all sorts of tasks just to keep them busy -- tasks that I don't bother doing myself.
Genesis 20:
Here is time number 2 that Abraham deliberately endangers his wife because of his own fear.
verse 17 - Abraham has to pray that God would open the wombs of Abimalech's wives and livestock again -- the very thing that he was waiting for God to do for His wife. I wonder if that made a strong impression on Abraham.
