God & Sarah: one of the most beautiful verses in the Bible | Genesis 21.1

March 17, 2014August 25, 2021 / Paul Burkhart / 1 Comment

The Lord dealt with Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as he had promised.
—Genesis 21:1

What a beautiful and weighty verse. So much is concentrated right here. What a picture of our God!

The Daughters of YHWH | Genesis 12:17

March 15, 2014July 28, 2021 / Paul Burkhart / 1 Comment

But the Lord afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
—Genesis 12:17

The LORD enacts vengeance for the sake of his daughters. He hates injustice against them, even when the perpetrators are oblivious that they are perpetrating it.
