17 And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing,
18 “since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 “For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”—Genesis 18:17-19
James MacDonald tells us not to miss the tribute God paid to Abraham as an outstanding family man in verse 19. I am glad he did. I would have missed it. What an expression of divine confidence...what a tribute to Abraham’s faithfulness and obedience! Oh, that God would be able to say that of me! That He could trust me to consistently obey His commands to keep His way...to practice righteousness and justice and in so doing ALWAYS point others...esp my family...to Him.
