I only have a few quick minutes before I must dash out the door and run another of my brood to an appointment. I wanted to share a quote I read again this morning from page 18 of Beth Moore's study of the Patriarchs.
The quote is ascribed to F.B. Meyer
"....How much better would it have been for Abraham to have thrown the responsibility back on God, and to have said, "Thou hast brought me here; and Thou must now bear the whole weight of providing for me and mine: here I will stay till I clearly know what Thou wilt have me to do." If any should read these lines who have come into positions of extreme difficulty, through following the simple path of obedience, let them not look at God through difficulties, as we see the sun shorn of splendour through a fog; but let them look at difficulties through God. Let them put God between themselves and the disasters which threaten them. Let them cast the whole responsibility upon Him. Has He not thus brought you into difficulties, that He may have an opportunity of strengthening your faith, by giving some unexampled proof of His power? Wait only on the Lord, trust also in Him.....He will provide"
It's proving to be a hard few days of rebuilding at our house. These thoughts on Abram and Sarai taken after their initial arrival in Egypt (Gen 12) and presenting Sarai as Abram's sister have done my soul a world of good today.
Blessings to you!
