Let it be


19/2/2018
War again and this time to cut a long story short Lot and his family get captured. One man escaped to tell Abram of Lot's predicament and he rallied all his household 318 of them and they led pursuit and was victorious in the cause reclaiming all Lot's possession's (including his wives and families)back for him, destroying the bad guys in the possess. When this was all over the king of Jerusalem Melchizedeck who was  a priest of the highest order of God, brought Abram bread and wine and blessed Abram with this blessing;' The blessing of the supreme God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, be upon you, Abram; and blessed be God, who has delivered your enemies over to you'.  Abram gave Melchizedeck a tenth of the spoils. Abram wouldn't accept any gifts from the King of Sodom because he had solemnly declared to God he wouldn't unless it would look like God wasn't providing for him. He would only accept what food his men had taken , but said let the booty be shared amongst Abner, Eschol and Mamre his allies.
When I read of all the things involving Abram such a peace and calm descends on me.  He was definitely a man of wisdom, calm, peace and faith in the promises of God even though the car alarm outside has been going off umpteen times while I've been reading this, I have managed to remain peaceful and not get stressed about it.
Abram was a cool dude and wise in his old years, taking everything in his stride, letting nothing phase him and always seems to be striving for the path to reconciliation and peace.
'Let it be'

Bye for now
