He does it all! Un principe!

Gen 20:6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.

We see here that it was God who kept Abimelech from sinning. Even though Abimelech had no intention to sin, and didn’t set out to sin, it was the Lord who kept him from sinning.

We can start out so many times with an intent to do good, and to do the right thing, but it’s the Lord who keeps us on the path.

In Philippians 1:6 Paul writes:

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

No matter what we think or do, it’s the Lord who works in us and keeps us on the straight and narrow. Watchman Nee ( to paraphrase) wrote that he quit trying to please the Lord. And, at first, this seems crazy. Why would he not try to please the Lord?

Because we can’t! We are wicked and carnal beings. Granted, we are made holy by the Lord, but Phil 1:6 tells us that God’s going to do it all. We just have to be willing to let Him work in us.

Gen 23:6 Oyenos, señor mío, eres un príncipe de Dios entre nosotros; en lo mejor de nuestras sepulturas sepulta á tu muerto; ninguno de nosotros te impedirá su sepultura, para que entierres tu muerto.

Leemos aquí que le llamaron a Abraham un <> . Y al leer esto, pensé que me gustaría ser un príncipe. Pero, me di cuenta de que ya soy. Por supuesto, no soy un príncípe por mis obras, sino por la sangre de Jesús, sí soy un príncipe!

Pray for Spain. Pray that the Lord would raise up missionaries and native Spaniards to take the gospel to the millions of lost souls in Spain.
