Description
Excerpt from El-Shadai, or the God Who Is Enough: And the Call to Prayer
But Abraham had not been altogether true to the high calling which God had given him. He had not doubted God''s promise and yet he had staggered under its weight enough to unite with Sarah his wife some fourteen years before the present incident in helping God to fulfill His promise by taking into his family Hagar, their servant, and striving through her to bring about the fulfillment of the promise of a son in the person of Ishmael. In all this God had seen the wavering of a double mind, and now when He appears to Abraham in his hundredth year He very obviously alludes to Abraham''s doubtful attitude by the startling message which is as much a reproof as it is a promise, I am el-shadai. Walk before Me and be thou perfect.
