Sarai found herself in danger because of her husband’s fear. Abraham, afraid for his own life, called her his sister, putting her in a vulnerable position before foreign kings. And yet, in the midst of human weakness, God intervened. He protected Sarai from harm, preserved her honor, and safeguarded the promise of a child through whom the Messiah would come.
How tender and faithful our God is: He does not need our perfection to accomplish His purposes. Even when we—or those we love—make mistakes, His plans remain secure. Sarai could not protect herself; Abraham could not save her. But God’s hand was over her, preserving the line of promise that would one day bring forth Jesus Christ, our Savior.
This story reminds us that Christ’s work is not thwarted by human frailty. Just as God preserved Sarai, He preserves us. Our sins, fears, and mistakes cannot undo the gift of salvation purchased through Jesus’ blood. God shields us, upholds us, and fulfills His promises through the One He has sent.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You that Your faithfulness is greater than our fear and weakness. Just as You protected Sarai and kept Your promise alive through her, keep me safe under Your care. Help me trust that nothing can thwart Your plan to redeem and save through Christ. Amen.
