Mine is Hannah. Shhhhh. Don’t tell anyone. To be barren and exercise that much control after your husband had no less than 4 children with Peninnah - “sons and daughters,” children - with the other Wife. And, in a day and age when being barren was a literal SCARLET LETTER. Mind blowing. Then to be mischaracterized as a drunkard by the ill-informed, High Priest and still provide a measured yet polite reply - in a word amazing - such godly restraint. 🤯❤️

Listen to this first > https://youtu.be/8fX75rExHOM?si=eaWISDX62u1eixIV There is no one higher than Father God. Think “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” (2nd Corinthians 5:19) I wasn’t great regarding Grammar. When compared to God’s great outdoors, grammar for me, wasn’t worthy of being a backseat passenger. Thank God, I learned enough about said subject to recognize that “and” is a conjunction. I think. 🥳 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1st John 1:7) So then, who is the “another” mentioned in 1st John 1:7? Pro tip, by his grace alone, a pesky yet perfect word exists between said “another” and before “the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” “That’s what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown.” If you enjoyed this brief devotional, please consider sharing the link to said devotional with others this Christmas.

Does God want to prosper you? Us? Has he rescued you from the punishment for sin? Has he rescued Me? If the answer is surely he has, then of course he longs to prosper us financially, but I can promise you that he won’t if it means sacrificing or doing away with the Spirit behind 2nd Corinthians 1:3&4. That said, 3 John 1:2 says “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, **even as thy soul prospereth**." That said, are those which do walk with God, not already prospering greatly?

"And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, an wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye you hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said." (Genesis 18:1-5) 1. Who appeared unto Abraham in the plains of Mamre? (The Answer is in verse 1) 2. Could Moses have not mentioned angels or a combination of beings in Genesis 18:1 or 18:2? He certainly did when he began Genesis 19. So, the answer is an obvious yes. 3. How many individuals are there in Genesis 18? (The answer is 5 and not 1 of them was an angel) That said, pastor upon pastor upon pastor will still; well, conflate away - creating at best an UNSAVORY SHEPHERD'S PIE out of Genesis 18:1 & 2 and Genesis 19:1. The LORD is interested in the affairs of men and has loved us with an everlasting love. I believe that he wants us to experience himself: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” (1st John 1:3) PRO TIP, when in doubt rely solely upon what is evidenced or there. I will refrain from naming the denomination here which teaches that Moses' phrase "The LORD" in Genesis 18:1, indicates only one member of "The Trinity" and two angels, but it is a large. _____ #TheLORD #Abraham #Genesis #Genesis18 #Sarah #BibleStudy #verseoftheday #God #Jesus #HolySpirit
