“The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day.”           Genesis 18:1 NIV

We all wear many different hats. For instance, I am a husband, a father, a brother, a Pastor, a friend, among many other things. Genesis 18 reveals various hats of the man named Abraham. In the beginning of this Chapter, Abraham is visited personally by the Lord. During this visit we are given a glimpse of these various hats of this man of faith. As Abraham is revealed to us here, we see some characteristics in his life that could be seen in all our lives. Abraham wore the hat of being a Servant of the Lord. He sprang into action to serve the Lord who came in the form of three visitors. He wore the hat of a Saint. A “saint”, Yes! One who has been set apart by our Lord, not perfect, but in the process of being perfected by the Lord. The One who set Abraham apart and has set us apart to serve Him with enthusiasm as did Abraham. Abraham wore the hat of Mediator or Intercessor. He stood before the Lord on behalf of Lot and his family. We have been called to wear the same hat. Some questions: Are you His servant, running eagerly and speedily to do His will? Are you His saint, listening intently as He reveals His will and ways to you? Are you His son/daughter, His child, interceding before the throne of the Heavenly Father on behalf of those who do not have access to Him? Do you need to work on one or more of these areas of your relationship with the Lord?

PRAYER THOUGHT

Lord, may we serve You as eager servants, saints and intercessors.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Lord, through the energizing power of your Holy Spirit, may we serve You as servants, saints and intercessors to the glory of Your name. AMEN
