“The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby.” – Genesis 18:1-2
Ordinary day.
Ordinary tent.
Ordinary heat.
Extraordinary visitors.
Abraham, resting in the shade,
Suddenly alert,
Suddenly hospitable,
Suddenly bowing before strangers.
Did he know immediately?
Did recognition dawn slowly?
When did the ordinary moment
Transform into divine encounter?
Water for dusty feet.
Bread for hungry travelers.
Meat prepared with haste.
Hospitality offered without reservation.
And in this simple meal,
This everyday exchange,
The Lord of all creation
Sat at Abraham’s table.
They spoke of Sarah.
They spoke of promise.
They spoke of laughter.
They spoke of impossibility becoming reality.
How many divine appointments
Do we miss in ordinary moments?
How many angels entertain us unawares?
How many sacred conversations slip past unnoticed?
Your Monday may hold a divine visitation.
Will you recognize the sacred in the ordinary?
