Shrewd Living Amongst the People of the Land

Genesis 20

Inspired thots

This is the second time Abraham misled others about his wife - chp 12 with Pharoah and now ith king of Gerar. Sarah must have been really beautiful.

yet, God did not blame him for his ruse... perhaps it was also the truth...Sarah was his half-sister.
and, perhaps Abraham had a good point: if the people of the land did not fear God, they will kill him and take Sarah.
Is this what Jesus meant when He said 'Be Shrewd as snakes and Innocent as doves'. (Matthew 10:16)
