"And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him." Gen. 17:20
Ishmael was born through Abraham's attempt to do God's work in man's way. Of course, whenever we do that, we run into trouble. From this act of unbelief was birthed the Arab peoples of the world, who today live in great hostility to their Israeli cousins. But even so, the grace of God is greater still. God's promise to bless Ishmael is echoed later in Scripture, through the prophet Isaiah who declared, "The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth" (Isa. 19:24). Today it may be hard for some to imagine Muslim countries like Egypt and Assyria becoming a blessing to the whole earth, but that is God's promise. Do you have faith to believe?
Pray that all Muslim peoples everywhere might become recipients and agents of God's blessing.
