We are told at this set time God allows Abraham to have his promised son, Isaac, at the age of 100. We are also told that Hagar, and Ishmael are protected, and blessed because of Abraham. Abimelech is also blessed because he recognizes the hand of God on Abraham and therefore he makes a treaty with Abraham. The only way we can be blessed is to get in the covenant of God through Salvation. The only way to stay blessed is to live in the protection of God’s covenant. Living outside of the Spirit of God and the Word of God causes us to miss out on the blessings of God. God has a plan; we can join in and be blessed or live outside and be chastened as His children. Jesus came because He loves us and wants us to live daily as His covenant people.
Remember this Christmas season, God has invited us and allows us to be part of His magnificent plan. Rejoice that we get to live as His Child.
