Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem ~ Origins

Israel Surrounded by Her Enemies

Yesterday, I was in a store, and there was a Bible on a table.
I casually flipped it open, and it OPENED RIGHT TO THIS CHAPTER!
I knew it was the Text for the next day, so I read it in the store, and became very frustrated! Here was Abraham, after ALL he had been through, playing this stupid GAME again with a Gentile king, saying that Sarah was his SISTER!

After yesterday's Thread on Sodom and Gomorrah, I was very puzzled and confused.

It was not till this morning when I was getting dressed that the LORD spoke to me about the meaning of this passage.
It is not so much about Abraham's mistake, as it is about God's MERCY towards Abimelech!
And when does that Mercy come?

When Abimelech restores to Abraham THAT WHICH IS HIS, and BLESSES HIM.

Notice also that Abimelech, a pagan, begs Abraham to PRAY for HIM.

So what I thought was going to be a strange little break in the vast sweep of our Story turns out to be Possibly the Most Relevant Chapter for TODAY that The LORD could have chosen!

May you be Blessed as You Bless Israel.

Psalm 93

The Majesty of God’s Rule

1The Lord is king, he is robed in majesty;
the Lord is robed, he is girded with strength.
He has established the world; it shall never be moved;
2 your throne is established from of old;
you are from everlasting.

3The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
4More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters,
more majestic than the waves* of the sea,
majestic on high is the Lord!

5Your decrees are very sure;
holiness befits your house,
O Lord, for evermore.
