“When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife, Sarai, “Look, I know what a beautiful woman you are. When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me but let you live. Please say you’re my sister so it will go well for me because of you, and my life will be spared on your account.””
Genesis 12:11-13 CSB
I wish that Abram’s actions to “help” God were less familiar. I feel like I default to attempting to accomplish “Gods will” in my life…looking for ways to force things to work out in a way that gets me what I want. It’s sad to look back and see how common this has been for me.
Lord, thank You for helping me to see this pattern of faithlessness. Thank You for gently correcting me and removing my blinders. Help me to trust You to accomplish Your will…give me patience to wait for Your perfect timing and Your plan. Build my faith in You, and You alone!
