Answer Rightly!!!
Genesis 18:9 – And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
A right answer is needed for every question. The visitor asked Abraham not that they didn’t know the answer to the question, but they want to know things, I guess, about Abraham’s character and his relationship with his wife.
Just imagine, what if Abraham had given answers like, “That barren woman that can’t bear me children?”; “Why asking? Didn’t you know that she must have been the one that cook?”; “Am I my wife’s hand bag or keeper?” Do you think that they will be given the promise that day?
Behave like Abraham and not like Cain that answered God if he is Abel’s keeper [Genesis 4:9] or like Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:9-13. Don’t even keep silent to an important question like Cain in Genesis 4:6-7. I believe that if Cain had answered God, God might show him mercy.
Proverbs 15:1 make us to understand that we have to answer rightly. Your answer can either save or destroy you. Learn from Nabal and Abigail [1 Samuel 25:10, 1 Kings 12:13, Proverbs 25:15].
Tame your tongue in the Holy Ghost to always answer rightly! Shalom.
