Melchizedek enters the story rather unexpectedly. In the first 13 chapters of Genesis there has been nothing about a priest of God. Not only is he introduced but Abram recognizes who he is and gives an offering to the Lord through him. Melchizedek offers a blessing over Abram.
The insertion of Melchizedek is a reminder that God is always working in ways that we had never imagined. God has brought Abram to this new country, but God has already been at work in the country.

What a good reminder that God IS always working in our lives in ways that we can never imagine! I guess our job is to remain open to His leading and presence since it is there!
