He looked up and noticed three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran to meet them and welcomed them, bowing low to the ground. -Genesis 18:2(NLT)
WHEN GOD SHOWS UP
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you ever felt God’s presence in your life?
He is always with you and shedding you His light
Are you able to let go of whatever you are doing?
Do you recognize His spirit as your day is going?
Do you notice when God is just nearby and hovering?
What do you do when he overwhelms you with his loving?
Abraham bowed low to the ground to give him reverence
How do you acknowledge the Lord God Almighty’s presence?

According to the Blue Letter Bible.org website, During the period of the Old Testament God appeared to certain people in a physical form. This form was not the essence of God but rather a physical representation of God for the benefit of those to whom He was speaking. Nobody has seen God or can see God for, by nature, He is an invisible spirit. In Genesis 17, we clearly read that the Lord appeared to Abram when he was ninety-nine years old telling him that he was “El Shaddai” – ‘God Almighty.’ He instructed Abram to serve him faithfully and live a blameless life and made a covenant with him to guarantee countless descendants coming from him (Genesis 17:1-2).
