This entry is quite late. Tomorrows will be quite early. Both are ready now.
God's Message to me: When God sent Abram from his homeland he asked his wife to tell everyone that she was his sister. He did this out of fear that people would kill him to get his wife because of her beauty.
God knew what He was doing. If God says going someplace will make your life better there is no need to worry. It is certainly reasonable to provide for self defense. God provides us that ability for a reason. It is not reasonable to do the wrong thing out of fear. Abraham lied to protect his life when God was there to protect him. God protected his wife from dishonor and Abraham from death and allowed the situations to become blessings for Abraham. What blessings might have come if the kings he placed in danger had embraced him as a visiting dignitary instead of a prince they feared.
Promises: God keeps his promises and asks for nothing He isn't prepared to provide.
Commands: Hold nothing back. Without God you wouldn't have it anyway.
Timeless principles: Everything comes from God and belongs to God.
How can I apply what I've learned: Treat all I posses as if it is borrowed from God and He can have it back whenever he asks. Failing that He can take it back anyway.
