Story of Sarah- Part II

Genesis 12: The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.

I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." So Abram left, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran. He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.

Its actually evry interesting to explore the history here. Abram's father was a idol maker and Abram was living with him. We see that God coming to Abram one fine day and asking him to leave the country. We do not know how God met him or whether it was a vision or an intuition. Sarah was ten years younger to Abram and Abram was 75 years older then. Yet, we see that Abram obeyed God, 100 percent. He immediately left the place with his wife. And there is no note saying whether Sarah fussed or refused to come. She didn't tell him, "Hey!! I have a career here, Man!! Who the hell do you think you are? You just give me orders and expect me to come?"... No, that didn't happen.


Abram was a good hard working man. Over the years, Sarah had watched her husband and knew his moods, emotions and character. She understood her husband perfectly and knew that she needs to be with her husband till death does them apart. She was 65, that didn't deter her.

How many of the women are like that?
