00:00:00 --> 00:00:04 How an often overlooked narrative in the Bible reminds us of

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07 God's never-failing promises.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08 Tune in.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:12 Hello,

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:24 --> 00:00:28 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47 In our midweek Bible study, we're in the book of Genesis.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49 At the end of chapter 20,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:56 Abraham has lied again about Sarah being his sister to avoid

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57 any sort of reprisals.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01 Abraham discusses their genealogy,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 and they appear to be half-siblings,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06 but she is definitely his wife.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10 The text tells us this half-truth,

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11 or lie of omission,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14 was perpetuated many times,

00:01:14 --> 00:01:18 not just in the two occasions recorded thus far in Genesis.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23 Verse 13 recounts Abraham's instructions to Sarah.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28 Wherever we go, say of me, he is my brother.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34 So the question was posed after reading about all the loot

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35 Abraham amassed.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:41 Again, after his lie, why would God reward his bad behavior?

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47 I came to the conclusion that it had nothing to do with Abraham

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 and everything to do with God.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:56 What I mean by that is that God made a covenant with Abraham.

00:01:56 --> 00:02:01 He spelled out what he would do and what he wanted Abraham to do.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:05 Whether Abraham fulfilled his duty or not,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08 God was going to fulfill his,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10 as he always does,

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12 because he is righteous,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14 just,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16 and true to his word.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22 Hebrews 6.18 tells us it is impossible for God to lie.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:29 So yes, He keeps His end of the deal, regardless of what we do.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:34 We can take that promise to heart in our dealings with Him also.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:41 He told us in Acts 2.38 that if we repent and are baptized,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:47 He will forgive us of our sins and give us the gift of the Holy Spirit.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:52 even if we mess up, because as humans we will.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55 He will keep his word.

00:02:56 --> 00:03:01 We will be saved when we sin again, and we will as frail humans.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06 If we confess our sins to each other and pray for each other,

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09 not only does he forgive,

00:03:09 --> 00:03:13 he chooses to blot out the very remembrance of our sins,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17 as indicated by a number of verses.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:22 It was a good lesson for a day when the overwhelm was

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24 relentless again due to the

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28 compulsive speech OCD discussed in the recent episode,

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30 New Self-Discovery.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33 Our meme for today says,

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36 God will always be true to his word,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39 even when we are not.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43 Chime in with your thoughts in the comments below.
