Genesis 23
Inspired thots
It is interesting to note how Abraham dealt with the people of the land which he was staying in. He humbly asked for a cave to bury Sarah and humbly insisted that he should pay for it although the people respected him so much to offer the place willingly and for free.
But perhaps subtly or inside, people's nature remains ... they do not want to lose out. Hence, Abraham was wise to offer to pay for the cave AND the land around; so that there was no obligation on Abraham to the Hittites even if he was so rich. He paid for what he needed. He did not allow anyone or anything to cause him to give God's glory away. He dealt wisely with the people.
All that Abraham owned was given by God and in all his ways, Abraham acknowledged that wisely.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
