Praying in the Midst of Promises and Problems
October 25/26, 2014
In Genesis 18:16-33 [19:1-38], Abraham and Sarah extend hospitality to three divine visitors, where the promise is reaffirmed again. Sarah thinks it’s funny. At the same time, judgment is coming down on Sodom, where Lot lives, and Abraham bargains with God about these things. This will not include much reflection on the final chapter of Lot’s story, which ends with all the typical messiness of those whose lives are turned upside down by loss and grief. How do we live, like Abraham, as a person of faith in the midst of God’s promises and the problems of life?
