Sarai

Genesis 12:17-20

But the Lord inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household because of Abram’s wife Sarai. So Pharaoh summoned Abram. “What have you done to me?” he said. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!” Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.

Psalms 5:11-12

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Observations

I find it interesting that God protected Sarai even though Abram was thinking of himself and his life. When we as women do as we have been told to do by God he is there to protect us. God loves us and wants His best for us. When we take things in our own hands we tend to mess things up. We can't see the whole picture and how He will protect us but God does see all things. 

Ponder this

Are we trusting God's protection on and in our life?  Do we think we know best?  Are we trusting in ourselves or in God? Do we realize God can see the whole picture?  What are we missing out on because we make our own plans?
