Numbers 20

There is nothing more important than our view of God.

Genesis 20

Man is forgetful. Man is nearsighted. God is faithful and merciful.

The God of justice hates injustice in His creation.

Every man struggles with his faith and every child of God ultimately follows his heavenly Father in fits and starts.

Man is irrationally sinful apart from God, and our memory and knowledge of His great power and holiness are often overwhelmed by our selfishness.

Abraham believes God and God justifies him. Salvation is always by faith.

God cannot be unfaithful.

God works His plan through man’s actions whether they are righteous or sinful.

The story of Abram marks the beginning of God’s specific plan of redemption.

In its most stunning rebellion yet, Israel rejects its redemption.
