A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

Genesis 18

18 And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.

7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.

8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.

11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

13 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?

14 Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.

16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

20 And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.

23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

26 And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:

28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.

29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.

30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.

32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

33 And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

Today would be my Parents' 75th Wedding Anniversary. Dad was on Leave from the Korean War and vowed that he wasn't going back "a Single Man". That seemed like a good deal to Mom, but they only had a week to plan everything. My Grandmother went into High Gear and started making plans. They went to the Priest who was adamant.

"Who is this SAILOR who wants to marry a Good Girl from MY Parish in only a week? I refuse to marry you two until I've published the "Banns" for a full THREE WEEKS!"

Little did the Priest know that my Grandfather was close friends with Richard Cushing, the Archbishop of Boston. Next thing you know, the priest called up my Grandmother and asked:

"So, when would you like to have the Wedding?"

(No need to count on your fingers, folks. I wasn't born till almost two years later.)

Now, I have no idea whether Grandpa made a "Deal" with the Archbishop, or if the Archbishop made a "Deal" with the Priest. Whatever happened, Mom and Dad had a lovely small wedding with pictures and flowers, and a reception with music. Dad wore his uniform and Mom wore a stunning pearl grey silk suit (with a peplum) which she kept in her Hope Chest for years afterwards. I remember looking at that beautiful suit and hearing Mom tell me the story of how her Dad made a "Deal" with Cardinal Cushing!

Abraham had a very complex Personality that included Faith, Courage, Compassion, and the unfortunate aspect of allowing himself to be "henpecked" by his Beloved Sarah. We've seen his Generosity, his Hospitality, and his own Falterings in his long Journey with The One True God.

Another thing we see, which seems a bit off-putting, is Abraham's sense of Familiarity with The Creator Of The Universe.

In Today's Scripture we see Abraham negotiating with God as if He were a Merchant in the marketplace.

He starts out with one number, and negotiates back and forth with God about saving the most wicked City on Earth.

When he finally gets down to TEN People, Abraham realizes that there aren't even that many. God will save Lot and his family, not because THEY are Righteous (because they're NOT, which will be shown in the next chapter), but solely because of God's Grace.

Abraham's boldness in Bargaining With God follows a familiar pattern in Negotiations: Start Ridiculously HUGE, and then go back and forth until a Deal is made that satisfies both parties.

It also shows that Abraham had a "Relationship" with The Almighty. This Relationship has come to be known in the Bible as "FRIENDSHIP".

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
