Following the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham moved from the place where he had camped for more than a decade and began to explore the land that God had promised him.

On his way, Abraham began to fear the local inhabitants. Instead of turning to God and trusting in God's protection, he reverted to an old tactic to protect himself. Unfortunately, this approach put his wife and future child at risk and prevented Abraham from growing in faith and relationship with God.

Sometimes we can't see our own sin.
Only God can truly see what's in our hearts and minds.
God is a loving father who will not allow His children to continue in sin.
