Message of the Day

 

 

God chose Abraham because he wasn’t a push over. God chose Abraham to be our father in faith because in Abraham he had found someone who would hold his ground. He dares to haggle with his God (Genesis 18.20-33). People in that part of the world love to haggle. They love to barter, bargain and bring the price down on something. That’s what is going on it that remarkable episode. Abraham is ‘bold indeed’, to use his own phrase, in his dealings with God. But God seems to like it that way. I hope you know what it feels like to haggle with God in your prayer. Because he knows that’s the way we get in touch with what we want and how much we want it. And even when we don’t get it, we have the reward of actually having wrestled with God in the process. But the good news of that story is that sometimes you will get what you want. Because sometimes what we really want is actually what our God really wants to give us.

 
Canon John Udris, Cathedral Dean
