Scripture Union Daily Guide 14 May 2022 MESSAGE
God who orders the destiny of people, changes the name of Sarai to Sarah (vs.15–16) just as He had done for Abraham (see v.5). What do you learn about God from His dealings with Abraham and his family? Is Abraham’s reaction in vs.17–18 a sign of unbelief or an expression of joy and bewilderment? Compare his reaction here with that in Genesis 15:4–6. See also Romans 4:19–22.
Parents should be concerned about their children’s future and relationship with God, like Abraham (v.18). Notice God’s response to his question and request (vs.19–21). What do they teach us about God? God has a peculiar and wonderful plan for each of us. Abraham obeyed God without wasting time (vs.22–27). Despite his age, he and every male member of his family got circumcised as God had instructed him. Does this prompt and complete obedience of Abraham challenge you as a Christian? See Psalm 119:60.
Practice/Word Application
