Day 6 - Genesis 14, Psalms 110, Hebrews 6-7
What really stood out to me in today’s reading was Abram’s interaction with Melchizedek. It’s such a short moment, but it clearly foreshadows Jesus — a priest and king who brings bread and wine, blesses freely, and isn’t tied to lineage or religious systems. Hebrews later connects this directly to Christ, which makes this scene feel intentional, not random.
Melchizedek shows up after the battle, not during it. Abram has already done the hard thing and then refuses the rewards from the king of Sodom. Once the striving and grasping stop, peace appears — fitting, since Melchizedek is the king of Salem (peace). He blesses Abram, and Abram responds by giving a tithe without being told to. No law yet, just recognition and gratitude.
To me, this points to a deeper idea which has really resonated lately. One I'm really trying to lean into:
When we stop trying to win or control outcomes, peace meets us, and relationship replaces transaction. We can be one with God and stop letting our preferences turn into emotions that blind us from the blessings we are receiving.
