Genesis 18: 2 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. 3 “My lord,” he said, “if it pleases you, stop here for a while. 4 Rest in the shade of this tree while water is brought to wash your feet. 5 And since you’ve honored your servant with this visit, let me prepare some food to refresh you before you continue on your journey.” “All right,” they said. “Do as you have said.” 6 So Abraham ran back to the tent and said to Sarah, “Hurry! Get three large measures of your best flour, knead it into dough, and bake some bread.” 7 Then Abraham ran out to the herd and chose a tender calf and gave it to his servant, who quickly prepared it. 8 When the food was ready, Abraham took some yogurt and milk and the roasted meat, and he served it to the men. As they ate, Abraham waited on them in the shade of the trees.

I wonder what caused Abraham to be so concerned about these particular men passing by his house.. I guess it could have been because they didn't live in a town so maybe people passing by was infrequent.. maybe he would have acted this way no matter who came past... what do we act like to people we don't know and are just passing through... are we pleasant.. do we at least smile at them... they say that visitors to a church are often put off by the people who are the members by the way they act when they first come... that would make me think we are not all that pleasant.. and in a place where we should be exceptionally pleasant...

16 Then the men got up from their meal and looked out toward Sodom. As they left, Abraham went with them to send them on their way.17 “Should I hide my plan from Abraham?” the Lord asked. 18 “For Abraham will certainly become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him. 19 I have singled him out so that he will direct his sons and their families to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just. Then I will do for Abraham all that I have promised.” 20 So the Lord told Abraham, “I have heard a great outcry from Sodom and Gomorrah, because their sin is so flagrant. 21 I am going down to see if their actions are as wicked as I have heard. If not, I want to know.”

so as I was reading this... I see that this person who came here.. IS THE LORD.. but at first.. it was just three men passing by... do you think God really sends even just angels down to see how we act toward them?  do you think He ever comes along Himself? and for goodness sakes.. what if we were having an off day and we are rude or something...
imagine.. what if God came to your house and shared His plans with you.... how amazing would that be...
oh wait... that does happen.. when we pray and read the word of God... and how often do we not have time for Him.. and not talk with Him as we should be...
