The Three Visitors


The Lord came again to Abharam while he was living in the Oak grove at Mamre. It was a hot summer day. He was sitting at the door of his tent and he saw three men coming towards him. When he saw them, he rushed from his place in order to meet them and bowed low to the ground.


He said, "If I have found favor in your eyes my Lord please don't go any farther. Stop awhile and rest here in the shade of the tree. I will get water to refresh your feet and a bite to eat to strengthen you. Stay awhile before continuing your journey."
"Very well" they said. "Do as you have said."

So Abharam ran quickly to the tent and said to Sarah "Quick! Mix up some pancakes! Use your best flour and make enough for the three of them!" Then he ran out to the herd and chose a fat calf. He told a servant to hurry and butcher it. Soon, he took cheese and milk and the roast veal, and set it before the men. He then stood beneath the trees besides them as they ate. "Where is your wife Sarah?" they asked him. "In the tent," he replied.

Then the Lord said, " Next year I will give you and Sarah a son!" Sarah was listening from the tent door behind him. Now as both of them were very old and  she had already past the age of childbearing


So she laughed to herself as she couldn't believe that woman at her age and the husband similar to her age could together produce a child. So the Lord asked Abharam, "Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say 'Can an old woman like me have a baby?' Is anything too hard for the Lord? Next year,  just as I told you, I will see to it that Sarah has a son." But she denied laughing as she was afraid.

Application

- if you want to be God's friend you need to be humble.
- you should have a heart to serve the Lord willingly just like Abharam. He could have easily called his servents but he served God by himself. 
- God's power isn't limited like us. He is an infinite being beyond time itself. 
- Trust is an important part of friendship. So if you want to build a friendship with Lord you need to trust him.
