Genesis 24:32 “So the man went to the house and the camels were unloaded. Straw and fodder were brought for the camels, and water for him and his men to wash their feet.
As I was reading this passage this morning before leaving for church; the Lord asked, “Rick, when special guests visit your home; do you fill their car with fuel?” Instantly, I acknowledged I had failed to provide a full tank of gas for guests to my home. This is something that is neither offered nor expected.
We read of food provided for camels and horses throughout history. Why is this practice discontinued with petroleum generated transportation? In the days of camels and horses, available livestock feed was often sparse; while gas and diesel are readily available at nearby convenient stores today.
One can easily argue the same is true of food and lodging, numerous restaurants and hotels exist near most of today’s residences; yet we continue the practice of feeding and lodging our guests.
The next time you or I am visited by a special guest, should we rush to fill their vehicle with fuel? That question is best placed before God in your prayers; then listening for his still small voice directing your thoughts and actions according to his will.
See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!
