A dear sister gave me Message bible on CD, so that I can listen to God’s words while driving – what a wonderful idea, Sister!
Today’s passage is Genesis 14. What grabbed my attention was towards the end of the chapter Genesis 14:23, when Abram wouldn’t take anything from the king of Sodom, such that the king cannot boast of making Abram rich.
To me, the king of Sodom signify the way of this world; while Abram is a god-fearing man, a believer like you and me. Abram wouldn’t let anything of the world to bless and make him prosperous, because God alone is his provider. So should we – we do not believe this world’s definition of prosperity. God blesses us with peace-love-faith, plenty of it, never-ending of this, this is what we seek. We do not want to give the world an opportunity to see that us using their way to false prosperity, instead, God’s blessings should sing out to this world as a testimony!
God, help me to see your provision as being my ultimate need today. Amen.
Be thou my vision!
