Scripture: Genesis 12:20
Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his
men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.
Abram went to Egypt because there was a famine in
Canaan. While he was in Egypt, he lied needlessly to the man who could help him
the most. When his lie was found out, Pharaoh refused to help him any more and
sent him away.
Have you deceived someone needlessly? Have you
ever used someone without being completely honest? God blesses honesty, and
when we're honest with people, they will usually help us more than if we
deceive them. If they find out our deception, we will have ruined our chance to
receive any help from them at all.
Be open and honest with people - be a person of
integrity - and watch how God blesses your life through them. Even if you can’t
trust the person, you can trust that God will move in their heart and cause
them to help you.
