Grace for your spirit
Abraham said, "Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife." Genesis 20:11
Abraham was a man of faith and a man who feared God, but not always completely. When he traveled into the kingdom of Abimelech, he made two big mistakes. He didn't trust in God, and he made the assumption that they didn't fear God either. Fearing for his life, he lied to Abimelech about his wife. His assumptions were wrong. Abimelech did fear God, and he was surprised and afraid at Abraham's deception. Abraham ended up looking awfully bad, and was ran out of the country. What about us? When we are out in the world, do we make the same faulty assumptions? They don't fear God, so why should I? When that is our path in the world, we will hardly be able to spread the light of Jesus.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
