This week at FHCC we examined the blessing that comes from serving the LORD. Now, some people would like to criticize Abraham and accuse him of trying to "win" the favor of the Lord, or appease Him through "works" or human efforts. This is just plain nonsense.
Abraham is already blessed (chapter 12-17, specifically 17). Over and over again the LORD has demonstrated His favor towards Abraham. Abraham is not trying to "win" the favor of the LORD, instead in chapter 18 is simply living in response to the favor of the LORD.
Q: Are YOU trying to "win" the favor of the Lord, or are you living in response to the favor LORD has already shown you?
