“Now Abimelech had not touched her, and he said: Lord, wilt thou slay a nation that is ignorant and just?”
Reflection for Today
Let Genesis 20:4 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “Now Abimelech had not touched her, and he said: Lord, wilt thou slay a nation that is ignorant and just?”
Scripture rarely flatters us. It loves us enough to tell the truth, and then it stays with us while we learn to live that truth. Genesis is part of the long story of salvation. Catholics receive it as inspired Scripture, a word that prepares the heart for Christ and still nourishes the Church.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of Genesis 20:4 remain. Share this verse with someone who needs encouragement, not as advice from above, but as a gift you yourself are trying to live.
Prayer
Holy Trinity, I receive today's verse with the Church. Keep Genesis 20:4 close to me. Let “Now Abimelech had not touched her, and he said: Lord, wilt thou slay a nation that…” guard my thoughts from morning until night, and let my life quietly agree with Your word. Amen.
