Pass Me Not: Inviting The Presence of God

“He said, "My lord, if I find favor with you, do not pass by your servant.” - Genesis 18:3

We don’t know exactly what Abraham was feeling 24 years after he and Sarah gave up their comfortably settled lives to pursue a bigger vision and nothing had happened yet.

Doubt? Uncertainty? Had he heard it right? Had he made the right choices, taken the correct path? Did he go left when he should’ve gone right.

Was he feeling exhausted and fatigued? As the years passed, did his hope start to wane? Was he beginning to regret?

We don’t know what he was feeling. But we do know that he recognized the presence of God had come near him. He did everything he could to invite this presence to stay with him if only for a while.

He didn’t pray, in this case for any vision or clarity of direction. He didn’t pray for any material or physical possessions. He only prayed that the presence of God would stay with him and not pass him by.

Sometimes the old hymn is our best prayer. “Pass me not oh gentle savior. Hear my humble cry. While on others thou are calling. Do no pass me by.”
