Genesis 18:1 ~ And the Lord appeared to him

Genesis 18:1

1 And the LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day.

2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth 3and said, “O Lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant.

4 Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree, 5 while I bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—since you have come to your servant.”

So they said, “Do as you have said.”




Abraham has traveled from all he knew to go where God wanted him to be. And had found shelter in the nation to be his.

Imagine seeing what Abraham saw that day. Abraham had a gift for seeing the unseen.

Mary - what a sight she was seeing.

46 And Mary said,

Luke 1
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.

For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name."


Jesus knew where to look.

Luke 9:16
And taking the five loaves and the two fish,
he looked up to heaven
 and said a blessing over them.
Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.


And in looking - Jesus could see hearts.

Luke 19:5
And when Jesus came to the place,
he looked up
 and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.”


Jesus always sees within us.

Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

John 1:42
He brought him to Jesus. 
Jesus looked at him 
and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter, rock).





Christians have times in life when Jesus is going to reach out and grab their soul - Light floods us in the direction we would go - pleasing Jesus.

It's up to us and our prayer life to hold on to the convictions Jesus has given us. To Believe God and stay there in faith.

Abba,
Help us to stay with You in Faith.

Giving our hearts to You, to tend to us and the ones we love. We rest our cares with You.

In Jesus our Alleluia will be found. Amen.
