Grace for your spirit
Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her. Now therefore, restore the man's wife, for his a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. Genesis 20:6-7
This is a confrontation between Abraham and Abimelech. Abraham has lied, calling his wife his sister, and Abimelech innocently has taken her to be his wife. Abimelech does God's will restoring Abraham's wife and is directed to ask Abraham to pray for him in order to live. Is there something wrong with this picture? Abimelech is in the right, and Abraham is in the wrong. Shouldn't Abimelech be giving the prayer?. Even in this bad day for Abraham, God still honors His chosen prophet to be the mediator. In that, God establishes His rule through Abraham. It should be a great comfort to Christians today. We may be having our worse day in history, and find ourselves living in the shadow of the worldly, but as we walk with the Holy Spirit, God still honors us and wants us to pray for the worldly. Even on our worst day, God wants us to be His priest and prophet. Let's not let Him down, or those who need Him
