—Genesis 18:1-8
by: Leota Stevens.
The example of hospitality demonstrated by Abraham in this passage is extraordinary. It was hot, it was summer, he was old: He had a full pack of excuses to draw from, had he chosen to use them. Instead, he saw this as an opportunity to enlist his wife and servant to help him meet the needs of others who were traveling near his sun-parched home. There is tremendous value in loving hospitality as it offers others a glimpse into the giving heart of God.
