Verse 33
33. Went his way Abraham ceased to intercede and Jehovah ceased to answer . Other works and plans engage Jehovah, and he passes from one scene to another . Lo, all we see and know “are but parts of his ways . ” “My father worketh hitherto, and I work . ” John 5:17. The Theophanies of the Old Testament furnish not only profound revelations of Deity, but inspiration to holy activity .
In Abraham’s intercession we do well to note: 1) How the righteous may be the salt of the earth. 2) The long-suffering and the righteousness of God. 3) The humility and boldness with which we should plead before God. 4) The efficacy of prayer.
