Scripture Reading
Genesis 18:16-33
Today’s Key Verse: Genesis 18:17b, 18
[The LORD said:] “I will not hide from Abraham what I am going to do. His descendants will become a great and mighty nation, and through him I will bless all the nations.”
Reflect
How many times did Abraham plead with the LORD? In each instance, how did the LORD respond? What are your thoughts about the dialogue between the LORD and Abraham? Have you ever pleaded with God for something? In today’s reading, is God portrayed as judgmental? Compassionate? Both? What does today’s reading teach you about God?
Pray
Loving and merciful God, you hear our cries and our pleadings. Give heed to my voice this day, and may my prayers and petitions be in accord with your will. Trusting in your steadfast love and care, I pray in your holy name. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those facing a difficult decision.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Genesis 21:1-21: Isaac is born to Abraham and Sarah.
