At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his forces said to Abraham, “God is with you in everything you do.” Genesis 21:22
Abimelech and Abraham didn’t have the best relationship. Abraham lied about Sarah’s identity, and trouble came to Abimelech’s household after he took Sarah to be his wife. In the end, God protected Sarah and restored peace to Abimelech’s home, but the relationship with Abraham must have been awkward.
Even with Abraham’s deception, however, Abimelech could see something was different. God was with Abraham, and everyone around him could tell. Despite his imperfection, God was glorified.
Lord, I want the world to see past my imperfection. I want all who are around me to see Your hand. I want them to say, “God is with you in everything you do.”
So often, I get in the way. So often, I try to go it alone.
Help me, Lord, to reflect Your glory. May You be seen in me today.
