On Sunday morning, we looked at the second half of Genesis 12. Abram and Sarai went to Egypt to find refuge from a famine in the land. While there, Abram lied to try to save himself, only to find the situation out of his control anyway. Despite his sin, God rescued Abram and Sarai, even enriching them and bringing them back to the promised land. This reinforced to us what God is like, showing us a pattern we see repeatedly in the Bible. God doesn't save good people who deserve it; he saves bad people who deserve punishment. This passage reminds us that we are never worthy of God's love; it is always grace to the undeserving. Take some time this week to confess anything you need to before God, and to thank him for his grace in Jesus that we do not deserve.
