Lying out of FEAR
Genesis 12:10-13
(The Message) 10-13 Then a famine came to the land. Abram went down to Egypt to live; it was a hard famine. As he drew near to Egypt, he said to his wife, Sarai, "Look. We both know that you're a beautiful woman. When the Egyptians see you they're going to say, 'Aha! That's his wife!' and kill me. But they'll let you live. Do me a favor: tell them you're my sister. Because of you, they'll welcome me and let me live."
We are all guilty of it at some point in our lives, or maybe you have not ever been so desperate that the easy way out was simple little lie. Well if you have never been there you can skip this one all together, but remember no one is reading this but you, so don’t lie to yourself to be honest that’s generally where the lie starts. The problem here is, that we often lie when we think we need to save our own hide, the other issue is that we have to try and remember the story (lie) we told. Oh you say I don’t lie ever, ever really we often find ourselves lying when we think it will save some ones feelings, or ladies we don’t tell our spouses how much money we really spent, this one should all make us laugh when some one ask your weight or what size we wear, do you tell them the truth? Well if your answer was no then, it is a lie and to whom do we owe an apology none other than GOD himself. In the scripture text noted above Abram ask Sarai to lie so that Pharoh would not take her into his heirom, and he may live, not trusting God was his issue even though Gods faithfulness had already been proven time and time again. So the next time you are faced with saving your own hide, take note of this your hide was already saved and you did not have to lie for it, in fact because HE knew you would is why he did it anyway.
