Genesis 16-18, Psalm 15

In our last episode, Abram told the Egyptians that Sarai was his sister in order save his own skin, and today things get even messier. Sarai suggests they try to help God’s plan along by pulling a slave girl into Abram’s bed. And Abram says, SURE. Yikes. It would be hard to argue that the Lord chose Abram because of his upstanding moral qualities, because the Bible highlights his flaws rather than covering them up. Abram doubts, wavers, makes poor decisions, but ultimately he responds to the Lord’s instruction. The Lord makes promises, not because Abram deserves it or because His holy hands would be tied without Abram’s cooperation; instead, through his work in Abram’s life God will show the world his steadfast love and sovereign provision.Genesis 16 - 1:02 . Genesis 17 - 4:44 . Genesis 18 - 10:56 . Psalm 15 - 17:42 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/[email protected]
