The Lord said to Abram to leave out of
his home away from his family and father's house to a place where he
will show him. The Lord made him a promise saying that he will bless
him, make his name great, and he will also be a blessing. God also
promised him protection by saying if anyone curse you they will be
cursed but if they bless you they will be blessed. Then God said that
every family will be blessed through you.
I personally believe that we as Christians are in line to receive/inherit the blessings of Abraham by faith. God wants to bless us, make our names great and cause us to be a blessing to every person around us. God also promises us protection, that he will bless the person who treats us right and curse the person who treats us wrong. The Bible says vengeance is mine says the Lord. The Bible also says that no weapon formed against us shall prosper and every tongue that shall rise against us in judgement shall be condemned. One thing I got from this is if you are God's child, he does care when others are hurting you or mistreating you. So if you have ever been mistreated by anyone just know that God cares.
So the Abraham was obedient to the Lord and left his home (Haran) place but he took Lot with him. They traveled through the land of Canaan, the place of Sichem, and unto the plain of Moreh.
The Lord came into Abram's presence again and promised him that he will give his children the land that they were in. Then Abram built an altar before the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord. Next Abram kept it moving South and ended up in Egypt. There was a famine in the land meaning there was very little to no food to eat.
Abram's wife Sarai was very beautiful and the Egyptian men were captured by her beauty. Abram told them that she was their sister. Because she had favor with the men, they made sure that he had sheep, oxens, donkeys, menservants, amir servants, and camels. However, the Lord was not too pleased. The Lord sent a plague to Pharaoh and his family and others who were connected to him. I imagine that Pharaoh was probably upset. So he brought Abram in to be questioned. What are you trying to do to me? Why didn't you tell me that Sarai was your wife? Why did you tell me that she was your sister? I could have married her and brought a curse upon my house! Pharaoh and his house knew that God had his hand upon Abram and his family which is probably why Pharaoh just decided to send Abram and Sarai away. Pharaoh commanded his servants to make sure that Abram, his wife and the things that they have be gone out of that land.
