A mark that validates the uniqueness of the

Scriptures as much as any other point is its forthright

presentation of its characters. The great men and women of faith

throughout the Bible are proven to be anything but perfect. Their

struggles with sin are obvious to any reader, and this is never

more apparent in Abraham’s life than in our current passage of

study. It is for this reason that this particular passage holds

such value for our own experience. A people who are prone to wander

need the reminder of God’s never-ending

faithfulness.
