Shepherd to Sheep

Genesis 21:22

Now it came about that Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying "God is with you in all you do......"
 
Here the Philistine king and his general come to Abraham to try and make an agreement for future peaceful dealings between the two parties. Recognizing God's blessing and His favorable dealings with Abraham, the king sought to stay in God's good graces via his relationship with the Lord's servant. Like His children in the world today, people may be attracted to God in us and the hope of His glory that we represent, or may become standoffish, even antagonistic because we represent the God they have rejected. In either case, we love, we pray for, we share the good news, we live our life for the one who so willing gave His life for us.
