Scripture:
“But the Lord inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household because of Abram’s wife Sarai.”Genesis 12:17 NIV
Observation:
Abram was traveling with his wife Sarai in Egypt. She was gorgeous and Abram told her to lie and tell them she was his sister and not his wife. He thought if they believed she was his wife, they would kill him and take her. Pharaoh ended up taking her anyway, then getting mad at Abram for lying to him about Sarai. Serious diseases came on Pharaoh and his house. He knew it dealt with Sarai and called Abram out on it. God has a way of taking care of His people.
Application:
When we walk in obedience to the Lord, He will fight our battles. He takes care of His own. When the enemy thinks he has us, God will bring trouble on him. We should have confidence that God will do whatever it takes to make sure His people are well taken care of. We need to trust Him more and ourselves less.
Prayer:
Father, teach me to trust You. I know in my head that You will fight my battles, but when problems a raise, I still want to take control and try to fix things. Help me to walk with You and to be confident that You will do what needs done for my life to be successful. I know this always comes back to the concept of trust. I want to trust You more and me less every day.
Yours,
Jeff
