Genesis 18:1  And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

 

"Lord, show me how to always be in the position to be able to see You coming!!"

 

Genesis 18:2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent  door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

 

"Lord, I am running to me You as Abraham did in Your word. I am humbling myself to You."

 

Genesis 18:3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

 

"Lord, I am entreating You to come in to me. I am inviting You to visit with me for a little while."

 

Genesis 18:4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet and rest yourselves under the tree:

 

"Lord, I am entreating You to let me take care of You, to wash Your feet, to let You rest yourself here where I live."

Note to readers: It was custom in this time to wash the dust of travel from the weary travelers feet.

 

Genesis 18:5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

 

"Lord, I want to entertain You! I want to be Your host! I want to do for You! I want to wash Your feet, to be Your servant."

 

How often do we come before the Lord with our hands out asking, always asking for Him to do something for us? How many times do we come before the Lord and just entertain Him? Just take care of His needs so to speak? Just to entertain Him? to let the Lord relax with us like we would any other visitor? to get up and get Him a glass of water, ask Him does He need anything? to just sit and chat with Him? to fix a meal for Him? to just spend time just enjoying His Presence?
