Yesterday I accidentally read more than I was supposed to, instead of reading to chapter 18 I was just supposed to read to chapter 12. So today I read from Genesis chapter 18 to chapter 24. Abraham was tested by God being told to sacrifice his only son. At the last moment an Angel of God showed up and said, Abraham don't lay a hand on the boy. Then there was a ram caught by his horns in a thicket. Abraham showed faith even though God told him to sacrifice his only son. Then in Phillistine Abraham was scared of the men fearing that they would kill him and stealing his wife, so he said that she was his sister. The King then took Sarah as a wife but, God cursed his household. God came to the king in a dream saying that Sarah was Abraham's wife and that he needed to be nice to Abraham. None of the kings household could have kids and were barren. Then the king told Abraham he could have any of the land and treated him like he was a prince. Then Sarah died, so Abraham sent his chief servant to go find Issac a wife from his own clan. This was to comfort Issac after his mothers death. The servant prayed to God asking that the right girl would give him and his camels water. Rebekka came along and did just that. She came with him after he talking to her relatives.
Overall the theme for today was that if you put faith in God and trust him he will bless you.
Amen! Put your faith in God, trust him, and he will bless you.
