Genesis 23 deals with the death of Sarah. After a time of mourning he had the difficult task of finding a place to bury her. He visited the Hittites to negotiate for a burial place. Abraham described himself as a “sojourner and alien” but the Hittites referred to him as a prince. Abraham’s insistence on buying the burial cave is an act of faith. It is a sign to come that his ancestors will own the land.
“Lord, help us to remember that every transaction in our life can be an act of faith. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
