Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years. And the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. (Genesis 24:1 ESV)
All Things
I was in a play recently, in which I had to read a last will and testimony. And as I read of the division of a character’s worldly goods and chattel, I thought of how difficult writing such a legal document really is.
We give, in our wills, to those we love.
And what we really want to do, is leave everything to ALL of our beloved.
But our lives do not work that way. We have too many limits.
But wow, oh wow, God does not!
He blessed Abraham in ALL things! And somehow He had also blessed Sarah in ALL things! And Isaac! And Rebekkah! And somehow every child of His, in every way, throughout time.
We can not do it.
Not only because we are not powerful enough. But more importantly, because God alone loves us THAT much.
He loves, as only He can. And so He can give all blessings!
