The Lord Will Fight For You

Genesis 12.17 "But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife."

The Egyptians took Abraham's wife from him because she was beautiful; however, in ignorance, because they were made to believe that she was his sister. I wonder how Abraham felt; they even gave the man lots of gifts! But neither their ignorance or generosity justified their action before God; He plagued Pharaoh and his household with great plagues.

Now, Pharaoh and his house were punished for what they did even though in ignorance; what do you think God would have done to them if they had taken her forcefully? Abraham didn't have to fight them, I don't think he could; but God stepped up and fought for him! I have a good word for someone today, God will fight for you!

The Bible says that when the Israelites went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another, God permitted no one to do them wrong; He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm!” Zechariah 2.8 says, he who touches you touches the apple of His eye! Cheer up, God is not asleep! They may have succeeded in taking your joy, your peace, your promotion, or anything else that belongs to you, hear the word of the Lord, everything that was taken will be restored, in the name of Jesus! Don't let their actions bother you, God will fight for you. Amen.
