Ephasians 1:
18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you…
Job 3:
23 What I fear has happened to me;
What I dreaded has happened to me.
24 I have no rest, but only turmoil
Genesis 22:
15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time
16 and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,
Genesis 22:
1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here am I, he replied
Genesis 21:

In previous meditations, we saw God cutting a covenant with Abraham. Abraham, taking a heifer, a goat and a ram, each, three years old, and a dove and a pigeon, cuts the animals in half and kills the fowls. Into this arranged row of two halves of animals, descends God to walk. It’s a great enacted statement of being one with with Abraham. It says, “My life is for your life. Any one that touches you has also touched me. I’m in covenant with you. If you are attacked, I’m also attacked. If I fail to come to your aid and help, then the life of the betrayer amongst the two parties will be as the end of those animals and fowls.” Covenant is supposed to be between two, but this is initiated by God, even though He is one.
Genes 20:
5 “…. I have done this with a clear conscience and clear hand.”
The above statement is part of the fragment of Abimelech’s argument before God.

Genesis 19
24 And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwell
Genesis 19:
29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.
Genesis 18:
10 Then the Lord said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.”
