Scripture: Genesis 20:2
Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She’s my sister.” So King Abimelech of Gerar took her into his household.
Thought for the Day: I have been enjoying the Made for a Miracle study. I love the way the author, Michael Slaughter, can spin a phrase. He writes:
It’s not our ability but our availability that God is most interested in.
I’m going to probably overstate this, but that might be one of the most insightful statements about one of the most important ideas in scripture. Let’s be honest – scripture has so many amazing individuals who were really a bunch of boneheads when God first called them. Many of them continued to stumble all over themselves even after the call, yet God remained faithful to them. Abraham is just one example. He made himself available to God, even when the destination was unclear. He took a leap of faith. Of course, along the way his insecurity played itself out as he protected himself by lying about his wife. This was not an isolated mistake, for it was the second time it happened. I’m not suggesting that we play-up our boneheaded mistakes, but it is good to know that God appreciates and works with our willingness to try even when our attempt is less than stellar.
Prayer: Thank you, Gracious God, for being gracious! Thank you for being patient and kind as I try my best. Amen.
