Christmas is almost here. Christmas tree looks fine. Waiting to attend Qurbana in the new Church in the evening. Waiting to eat meat after 25 days !
Genesis 12
The first verse in this chapter is about Abram's calling. Divine calling can come to a person at anytime. The moment it comes, you're a different person. God tells Abram to go from Haran to Canaan and says that he will bless him and make his name famous. Abram does exactly the same - Goes from Haram with his wife and Nephew Lot. Once he is in Canaan, he builds at altar for God.
While he is staying in Canaan, there is a famine and he has to move from there for survival. So he and Sarai go to Egypt. He knows that since Sarai is beautiful, Egyptians might kill him to take her. So he tells everyone that she is his sister. The court officials of the King see that she is beautiful and mention that to the King. King takes Sarai and gives plenty of gifts to Abram. But soon after, the land is filled with diseases. King understands that it is because he took another man's wife. So he give Sarai back to Abram and asks him to leave the country.
