Contemplative Bible Reading

Genesis 26:28 (New Living Translation)

They replied, “We can plainly see that the Lord is with you. So we want to enter into a sworn treaty with you. Let’s make a covenant.

A King named Abimelech came to visit Isaac, one of Israel’s patriarchs. His statement above tells us that Abimilech knew that:

1. God the Creator existed, and
2. God the Creator was with Isaac.

I see no reason why King Abimelech had some unique vision. I believe that everyone has the same ability today. Persons can see God and can see if God is with me.

Perhaps I try to hide God when I am talking to persons. God is with me. Can I get out of the way and let God show through?
