Don't Mess with God or His People

Scripture:

Genesis 20:18 "For the Lord had caused all the women to be infertile because of what happened with Abraham's wife, Sarah".

Observation:

Abraham had told Abimilech that Sarah was his sister and not his wife, which was half true.  When Abimilech realized what had happened, he returned Sarah and asked forgiveness from Abraham.  Even though it was Abraham's lie that caused the whole thing, God had caused all the women of the region to be infertile because of how Sarah was treated.  This shows me that God steps up to fight when his children are treated unfairly.

Application:

If God would bring infertility to a whole region because they messed with Abraham's wife Sarah, how much do we think God will do for us today?  Sometimes our view of God is so small and we think He is uninvolved in people's lives, but He is very concerned about His people at all times.  It seems like we read these stories about what God did in the past as historical fiction instead of realizing we serve the same God who has the same power today.  God has not changed!  We must change our perspective of Him.

Prayer:

Lord, let my eyes be opened to see You in all of Your glory.  Help me to walk with You and realize that what You did then, You still do today.  Nothing is impossible for You.  Help me to live like that.  Help me understand You better each day and know You more and more.

Your Son, Jeff
