The night attack is a classic guerrilla tactic — surprise compensating for numerical inferiority. Abram divided his force to attack from multiple directions simultaneously. The pursuit extended over a vast distance — from the Vale of Siddim all the way to Hobah north of Damascus. The victory is complete and swift.
Memory phrase: Wisdom and courage together can overcome great odds.
Talk about it: Abram made a smart plan instead of just rushing in blindly. Why is it important to be both brave and wise?
Prayer: God, help me be both brave and wise — not just rushing in, but thinking carefully about how to help.
