WHY “FROM THE TENT DOOR”?
Dear Readers,
THE BIBLE FOR TODAY has
begun posting my daily devotions from my daily Bible
reading. Lord
willing, there will be one for every day of the year,
using my husband’s, Pastor D. A. Waite, YEARLY BIBLE
READING SCHEDULE.
I wrote these “blessings”
in 2009. Truly, it
was a great blessing to me, as well as a mammoth daily
project and a lesson in determination. As you may or may
not know, mainly, I write for women. I trust you will be
blessed.
WHY CALL IT “FROM THE TENT DOOR.”
After many attempts for a title for
these
“blessings,” I have decided to
return to the name I used for scores of years when my
husband wrote a monthly BIBLE FOR
TODAY NEWS REPORT. In that NEWS REPORT,
I had a whole
page/column called FROM THE
TENT DOOR. People from all over the world received the BFT NEWS
REPORT, In so doing, they read my column. Many people
got to know me through this writing.
SARAH WAS IN HER TENT
I chose “FROM THE TENT DOOR” because
I, like Sarah of old, stayed in my tent–my house. If you recall that was
where Sarah was when she learned that she and Abraham
were to have a baby whom they named Isaac.
And
they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he
said, Behold, in the tent. And he said, I will
certainly return unto thee according to the time of
life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And
Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind
him.
AS A YOUNG WIFE, I LEARNED MANY
LESSON FROM THE LIFE OF SARAH (I Peter 3:6-7).
In fact I have written and taught extensively on her
life.
For after this manner in the old
time the holy women also, who trusted in God,
adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their
ownhusbands: Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling
him lord: whosedaughters ye are, as long as ye do
well, and are not afraid with anyamazement.
In learning about SARAH, I found that
things went well with her as long as she stayed in her
tent with Abraham where she belonged. Otherwise there were
problems! That is basically WHY I decided to name this
daily
“blessing” FROM THE TENT DOOR.
