Jan. 8th (Gen. 20:10,11)
...And Abimelech asked, "Abraham, what was your reason for doing this?"...Abraham replied, " I said to myself, 'There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.'"
Abraham lied or gave a half truth in telling Abimelech that his wife was his sister out of fear of death. Fear drove Abraham to this low point, instead of using his faith like he did through his attempt to sacrifice Isaac. (Gen. 22:1-12)
When tested how will I respond? In any case I should be completely trusting God. God will provide. Whether it's in protection, finances, or anything for that matter (Gen. 22:8). May my worshipful fear of God control my decisions rather that fear itself.
