And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved. So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
Genesis 20:14-18
Steps 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ,9 ,10 ,11 ,12
After being confronted by God, Abimelech is willing to let Abraham go free along with his wife Sarah. Abimelech is also willing to make amends to Abraham and Sarah. As a result of this gesture Abraham is willing to pray for Abimelech and his family is restored and God allows them to have children again. God wants all to know that He sees Abraham in a special manner and all who come in contact with Abraham need to treat him with the utmost respect, for he was a prophet for God.
Prayer for Today: God help us to listen to You and be willing to stand firm for You in all our daily activities. Help us to be willing to recognize where we have done wrong and be willing to change as You reveal things to us. Help us not to take advantage of others, and be willing to surrender as fast as possible. Thank You again for Your patience with us. Help us to be willing to apologize to others and make things right. Thank You for Your love.
