God's Rest Daily Prayer Devotional
"We be Brethren"
January 21, 2020

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.
