Like Father, Like Son

Like Father, Like Son

We read earlier in Genesis about two times Abraham said that is wife was actually his sister. In this passage we see Isaac do the same thing with his wife. 

Fortunately, no one took Rebekah before Abimelek realized that Isaac was lying to them. Praise God because we know what God said to the other Abimelek. 

What do you do that’s the same thing your parents did, but in your heart you know it’s not right? Make a change today. God wants us to do the right thing always. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Genesis 26:7-11

7 When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful.”

8 When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelek king of the Philistines looked down from a window and saw Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah. 9 So Abimelek summoned Isaac and said, “She is really your wife! Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?”
Isaac answered him, “Because I thought I might lose my life on account of her.”

10 Then Abimelek said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the men might well have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”

11 So Abimelek gave orders to all the people: “Anyone who harms this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”
