I think this is the first mention of Abram. God in the beginning tells Abram how is he is going to bless him. Telling him to leave his country, but he promises to make his name great. But just as it was getting difficult, he leaves to go to Egypt. He doesn't trust God to bless those who bless him and curse those who dishonor him. He tells his wife to lie and say that she is his sister. Abram doesn't trust God to keep his promise. I wonder if this is on his mind later as he is leading his son Isaac up the mountain to be sacrificed to the Lord. Part of the reason I am doing this blog is that I will remember the the things that God is showing me this year in the word so I will not forget in times of trouble and famine.
