The irony is painful: Abram gets what he wanted — his life, and even wealth — but it came through deception and at Sarai's expense. This wealth, however, becomes the foundation of Abram's great material fortune in the narrative. God can even bring good outcomes through our failures — but it does not make the failures right.
Memory phrase: Gain through deception is never truly good.
Talk about it: Abram got very rich while Sarai was in danger because of his deception. Does getting something good make a wrong choice okay? Why not?
Prayer: God, help me never want blessing that comes through deception. I want what You give honestly, not what I grab dishonestly.
