For this is also how the holy women who hoped in God once used to adorn themselves and were subordinate to their husbands; thus Sarah obeyed Abraham calling him “lord.” You are her children when you do what is good and fear no intimidation. (1 Peter 3:5-6)
We do not know much about Sarah before she weds Abraham. It can be assumed she was a good, God-fearing woman who led a relatively comfortable life. Before and even after she wed she was a member of a close, extended family, had servants and flocks of animals. All in all a pretty stable life, then God intercedes and tells Abram to leave his comfortable home and travel to an unknown land. Sarai and Abram give up their comfortable lives and begin a nomadic one that will last for the rest of their lives.
Questions to Ponder:
- What would my response be if God asked me to make a major change in my life?
- Am I so comfortable in my life that I am unwilling to take a risk and fulfill God’s destiny for me?
- If I am a wife, do I embrace my husband’s path as my own and share his faith in God?
- Do I totally trust God to lead me through my life?
