OUR PRIVILEGES Part 1

Posted on

Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?”       Genesis 18:17 NIV

 

The Lord is about to bring His wrath to bear upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Before He does this, He takes the time to speak to Abraham about His plans. In this passage, we are permitted to see a glimpse of the special relationship that existed between Abraham and the Lord. From this glimpse at their relationship, we are also permitted to see a snapshot of the relationship that is possible for every godly person living today. Few of us grasp the intimate relationship that we possess with our Heavenly Father! Abraham looked upon the Lord with awe and reverence, and rightly so! Verse 17 indicates that God looked upon Abraham as a friend. How does He see us? Probably with a desire for far more intimacy than we ourselves desire! Be reminded that, if you are saved, you are a child of God. His Spirit dwells within your heart. We are on intensely intimate terms with our Lord. He knows us, and His knowledge of us should cause us to gravitate toward honesty with Him. Is it not time we became transparent in our walk with the Lord? Regardless of what we try, we can never hide anything from the Lord! The Lord opened a dialogue with Abraham, giving Abraham the opportunity to become an intercessor for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. We have the privilege of being an intercessor for our family, friends and neighbours. The fact that we have unhindered, unfettered access into the presence of the Lord is a blessing without compare.
