Genesis 20 – God works in other people too!

“Oh what tangled webs we weave when first decide we to deceive.”  Upon entering a new land Abraham lies about his relationship with his wife calling her his sister.  Abraham did this because he doubted the power of God.  Abraham explains to the king, “I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, an they will kill me because of my wife.”  Abraham assumed that God was not working in the lives of other people.

How often do we assume that God has not been working in the lives of the people around us.  Have you ever felt called by good to speak to someone or do something, but out of fear not followed through?  If God is calling us to do something we can rest assured that God has already gone ahead of us and prepared the way.

We are not as important as we think we are.  We are instruments that God uses, if we allow ourselves to be used.  I seldom see all the ways God is working in the people around me.  I would much rather boldly go into every situation assume that God has prepared the way, then sit back and avoid doing what God is leading me to do.
