January 11th: Genesis 20-21, Psalm 23-25 and Matthew 13

This guy Abraham is a bit messed up. There is a huge deal made about the faith of this guy and yet he has a serious faith problems when it comes to his wife. 

Cut off a portion of your junk: check.

Be willing to kill your son: check

Live in hostile countries: check

Trust that the local king won’t kill you and steal your wife: FAIL… twice.

C’mon, Abe! Remember God promising to make you a great nation through Sarah?  There was that whole cauldron thing with the bisected animals?  No? Can’t remember that?  You circumcised yourself!  I know you remember that.  If not, there are like 350 dudes in your household that would be glad to.  But somehow, every time you come to a new land, the first thing you do is get rid of Sarah!?!  Wow.  Nothing says, “I love my wife,” like giving her away… twice. 

Abraham, great man of faith… yeah, I don’t get this one.
