SAY YOU ARE MY SISTER / GENESIS 12:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 12:11-13

And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: 12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. 13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

SAY YOU ARE MY SISTER / GENESIS 12:13

Abram failed to trust God in this situation. His attempt to deceive the Egyptians led to embarrassment when he was asked to leave the country (Genesis 12:19-13:1). These verses show how important honesty is for God’s people. Although Abram repented, he could not keep his moral failure hidden, Abram’s bad example should challenge all believers to keep trusting God regardless of the circumstances. His example should also encourage us to see how God can bring us back into His will, even after we have failed Him.
