Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

We see some more of Abram's "bargaining with God" in this passage, and believe me, there is MORE of that to come! We are astounded at his audacity in the presence of the Almighty!

As we continue to look at Abram and Sarai, we see their faith growing. Instead of scheming to do God's work for Him, they chuckle at the thought of a ninety year old woman giving birth (and probably what had to occur before that could happen!). Their laughter is forever enshrined in the name God chooses for their son, which means the same as "hahaha" or even "LOL".

This is a pivotal moment for this elderly couple, as God changes both of their names, adding the "H" sound to make it AbraHam and SaraH. The "H" is also the main letter in the Name of God (YAHWEH) and symbolizes the Breath of Life. The word for "Spirit" in both Hebrew and Greek (Ruach and Pneuma, respectively), also mean "Wind" or "Breath". (We get the words "Pneumatic" and Pneumonia" from the Greek word). For some scholars, this name change was indicative of God making Abraham and Sarah His Own, and filling them with His Spirit.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Is anything too difficult or impossible for God?

NO!

God Bless Israel, Jerusalem, and all seeking to know and serve Thee in truth. Thank Thee for thy grace, love, tender mercies, and loving kindness, and all Thy gifts/blessings.

God bless America, we are to turn away from doing evil. Praise and glory, love and becoming in the image of Christ is our way. God Forgive us our transgressions, and protect us from evil, LORD, in Jesus name, amen
