Episode Synopsis

We read Genesis Chapter 18 and discussed the angels and the Lord who visited Abraham; how Sarah was told she would have a son by this time next year; and we talked about how Abraham interceded for Sodom and Gomorrah. We also discussed how Sarah doubted and related that to us when we sometimes doubt if God is going to fulfill His promises. No matter how long we have waited, and no matter what it looks like, we have to keep believing that God will do what He said He would do in our lives. It is even ok if we have to say the prayer the man prayed in Mark 9:24, 'Lord I believe, help thou my unbelief'. We should always be honest with God and ask Him to help us when we are having problems believing that God will come through for us.
We also discussed what does it take to be a friend of God? Abraham was our example, he obeyed God and he believed God would fulfill all his promises. So it appears to be God's friend we simply have to obey God, and believe He will do what He says He will do. When you are God's friend, He reveals secrets to you just like He told Abraham that He was about to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.
