S – 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
O – Commentary:
there is no fear of God Abraham views Abimelech and his people as lacking any sense of morality that would come from belief in the one true God. As he did in Egypt, Abraham lets fear of being harmed determine his decision (12:11–13).
A – This is a little baffling to me. One of the men with the greatest demonstrations in his life and he allows fear to determine his decision. Why would he not have faith that God would protect him? Two things jump out. God will protect us even when we sin. Secondly, his faith continue to grow. We can have set backs and still grow forward.
R – Heavenly Father, you are the King of all Kings. Thank you for your grace and mercy when our faith falls short and we blow it. Empower us to get back up and continue to grow in our faith in you. You will protect and provide for us each day.
