Scripture Text: Genesis 18:19.

How well does God know you to entrust your household to serve Him?

In the book of Genesis 18, God vouches for Abraham, trusting him to lead his household to serve Him. He shares His secrets with Abraham, fulfils His covenant with him, makes him well advanced in the ages, and satisfies him in all things (Genesis 24:1). We claim Abraham's blessings through Christ Jesus because we are his seed (Gal 3:13–14).

Abraham's family life is structured as a servant leader, with him giving orders to his wife and servants and taking responsibility for guests. He works just as hard as they are, but he is the head of the house. Sarah respectfully yields to her husband, ensuring they are in agreement. She is willing to do what is right and not give way to fear.

Abraham's servants also submit to his leadership and authority, obeying immediately. In Genesis 18:7, Abraham runs to the herd and selects a tender calf and gives it to a servant who hurried to prepare it. This demonstrates Abraham's orderly home and his active role in leading and serving his family.

God's assessment of Abraham's family and future is evident in Verses 18 and 19, which promise that he will become a mighty and powerful nation and that all nations on earth will be blessed through him. God has chosen Abraham so that he will direct his children and household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just. This is important to carrying out the plan of God, as a well-ordered home is essential to the redemptive plan of God. The connection between the words "so that's" and "fors" in Verses 18 and 19 is that God's choosing of Abraham is the ground of him being a mighty and powerful nation and a blessing to the ends of the earth. In order for Abraham to fulfil his role, he must direct his children to follow the way of the Lord so that the Lord will bring him what He has promised.

A well-ordered home is crucial to the redemptive plan of God, and Abraham, our father in faith, is an example of a godly home.In summary, God's trust in Abraham and his family structure serves as a model for us to follow in our own lives. Abraham's leadership, servant leadership, and willingness to serve his family demonstrate the importance of a well-ordered home in the redemptive plan of God.

God bless you in Jesus Mighty Name.

If you would like to give your life to Christ, just say this short prayer:
Lord Jesus, I come to You now; come into my life and take control. I say bye-bye to the devil and enter the Kingdom of Light. Thank You, Jesus! In Jesus Name I pray, amen."

Congratulations!!!
