Genesis chapter 20 verses 12 and 13.

Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, though not the daughter of my mother,

and she became my wife.

And when God calls me to wander from my father's house, I said to her,

this is the kindness you must do me at every place to

which we come say of me he is my brother. The reason I I read couple of verses is because they describe how Abraham in traveling with his family, with his wife, made a pattern of lying and deceiving to protect himself instead of

trusting God to protect him.

And it's in this picture like we see all over the Bible in heroes,

so to speak of the faith.

They are not perfect. They are sinners to the core and we see in

them even amidst all that we've seen about Abraham trusting in God. Abraham believed God and was credited

him as righteousness and here he's not trusting God to protect him and to provide for him and his wife's safety.

And so I want you to think about your life,

about the subtle ways you are tempted to compromise,

even specifically with your words. How are you? tempted to

lie, to say things that are you tempted,

how am I tempted to lie, to deceive,

to say things that are not true, that are half true, and oftentimes we do this to protect ourselves,

to promote ourselves. God help us to watch our words. God we want to speak truthfully and

we want to act with trust in you.

God, we want to trust you to protect us, to provide for us.
