"We
be Brethren"

Genesis 13:8
And Abram said unto
Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my
herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
We all face those
times in our lives, and some try everything they know to do to stop strife and
fight for Peace. Abraham was the Peace
Maker in his family because he said to his nephew, "Between me and thee-don't
let anything come between us." Interesting how Lot couldn't take that
first initiative to speak up. There is a reason why it is always you that steps up to desire God's Rest and not others.
We have all been
there, "Done that! Have we not?"
Look a little closer? Not only
did Abraham not want strife between him and Lot but he already knew the outcome
would show up through the livestock they had. Let me ask you, "Isn't that
interesting that strife can do that?"
Abraham not only considered the cost of strife and the cost of his
cattle but he also considered, "We be Brethren."
Here, the word
"Brethren" was the real heart of the matter to Abraham as this word
means to be united together as one as kinsman.
It would be appropriate to also say, "I pray thee--can we rest
together in God's Rest?" Let this
be our highest prayer, "Even if it reveals the one who does not desire
God's Rest must take their path of separation of self just like Lot. It's not people they are separate from, it is
God's Rest as One." What shall we
say then?
Let us turn our
hymnals to:
Seek ye first the
Kingdom of God
And His
righteousness
And all these things
shall be added unto you
Allelu Alleluia
Confession: Father
today I acknowledge Your Rest in my life and with those in my family who desire
strife. May Your Rest remain upon my
family; my home; my children; the work of my hands; and all the Grace You have given
as One, and purchased through Your Dear Son. In Jesus name. Amen.
