A Life Today

Then the LORD appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was  sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. So he lifted his eyes  and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. Please let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by,  inasmuch as you have come to your servant.” 

I wanted to share a few thoughts from what I read this morning in Genesis.  This passage reveals the heart of Abraham.  Abraham had a  servants heart.  Here are a few things that stood out to me in this passage.    

•   He brought the men water to wash their feet.  
•   He desired to give them rest in the shade.  
•   He gave them bread to refresh their hearts.      

  When I read that passage I thought about Jesus washing the disciples  feet and considered what Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”  Isn’t that what we are to be about?
