For the last week or so I have been reading the current chapter and yet still meditating on the story in general as a whole. Im not necessarily getting a distinct message from the chapter but themes
are popping out to me. Today as I read, my mind wandered back to what I had read in Chapter 20, “Abraham replied, “I thought, ‘There is absolutely no fear of God in this place. They will kill me because of my wife.’”
Genesis 20:11 CSB
Isn’t it interesting that Abraham claims Abimelech's kingdom didn’t have fear of the Lord, yet here we are watching Abraham pretend for a 3rd time that Sarah was his sister, rather than walking in the truth of her being his wife. Did he really believe Abimelech was the problem or was he again afraid of what others may do to him?
It's got me pondering how often is something I am thinking about someone else actually a revelation of a greater truth Im being made aware of in myself?
