Genesis 12:1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.
Again, just like those three stewards in the parable, God gave material blessings to Abraham, opening up opportunity he never dreamed of, and thus what Abraham does with those gifts, will demonstrate if he is being guided by that wisdom and discretion which comes from God.
Genesis 12: 14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. 16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and asses and menservants and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
We observe that in two instances, Sarah’s beauty was used as the trigger for opportunity, very similar to what took place with Esther, whose beauty was used to pave the way for numerous blessings to fall upon God’s people. God does not think like we do, and for this reason, some of His methods, and ways might raise eyebrows in persons who may not know Him.
Genesis 20:14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and women servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
