Hi guys!!! Christmas is 20 days away!!!! I'm super excited 😄
Let me quickly drop this before today's study:
It's important to ask God for insight every step of the way. David came to Goliath prepared to fight a spiritual battle but looking at Goliath, one would have thought the battle was simply physical. That's why the Israelites were afraid in the first place. Then 1Sam 17:43 Goliath cursed David by his gods thereby going spiritual. David was therefore rightly prepared for the kind of battle that was on ground.
Today I'm giving us a little bible study! It's Genesis 12:10-20 and Genesis 20. Quickly flip through so you get the back story for this post 😊
Personally I think Abimelech had to vindicate Sarah because of the Isaac covenant so that it would not be mistakenly said that Isaac was conceived in Abimelech's house.
Compare and contrast the two stories.
First of all its easy to trust God in the big things and not the little things - Abraham didn't learn from the First time that God takes care of His own
Secondly, God's grace is unexplainable. Even though Abraham was at fault, he was still favoured in the situation. Because of God's relationship with Abraham he enjoyed grace well.
Thirdly, there is no such thing as a half truth. It's either true or it's a lie. Why didn't God acknowledge Abraham and Sarah's brother sister relationship? Not because it wasn't true but because that relationship was emphasized in a bid to purposely mislead Abimelech and Pharaoh. Even Abraham couldn't get away with it.
Finally, even if you don't get it right the first or secocnd time, don't sweat it. Just genuinely repent and seek God and you'll get there. By chapter 22, Abraham was already ready to sacrifice Isaac to God - he had gotten to that level of trust!!!
I know I know Taiye's story still isn't complete! Forgive me in the spirit of Christmas
