Abram's Lie

Abram's fear leads him to deceive others, yet God remains faithful, guiding him through the consequences of his choices.

What drives us to lie when the truth seems too costly? Abram, a man of great faith, faced a moment of fear when entering Egypt. Afraid for his life, he lied about his wife Sarai, calling her his sister. His fear led to deception, but even in Abram's frailty, God's faithfulness remained unshaken. This story reminds us that fear often distorts our judgment. We may be tempted to take matters into our own hands, yet God's plan for us never wavers. Today, we can choose to trust Him, even when our circumstances feel overwhelming. Let His truth guide your decisions, and rely on His strength when fear tempts you to stray.
