Today’s Reading:
Genesis 21:1-7
“The passage for meditation as seen above talked about the fulfilment of God's goodness to
Abraham and Sarah as He has said in the previous.” (Genesis 17:17)
Sarah and Abraham had been married for a long time and were blessed with gold, silver, cows, rams, male and female servants and even Ishmael (Abrahams’s son from Hagar) but still wanted one thing above all they already possessed. Just like when God created everything and brought them all before Adam to name, but for Adam there was something missing (Genesis 2:19-20). Nobody can “out give” God as His joy and gladness is basically to never stop providing us with all that makes us happy. God will not withhold anything good from us even when we have is behaved or taken his love for granted (even Abraham lied on various occasions). But as long as he (Abraham) went back to God and asked for forgiveness, God was always willing to forgive and pardon him.
Do you lack anything? Before you begin to ask the God of abundance, can you first of all appreciate Him for all he has given you (life, good health, sound mind, gift of sonship and hope of heaven). Today the 1 st day of the 3 rd month of 2021, appreciate the God who gave us his only begotten son, the One who came down to earth to save man from second death and all his sin so as to give him peace.
If you look around and think deeply, you will have reasons to give God praise.
