In this Bible Story, Abram is called by God to leave his country, saying He would bless him, make his name great, and make him into a great nation. Yet in Abram’s heart was imperfections, fears, and faithlessness. This story is inspired by Genesis 11:26-12:20. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a year.

Today's Bible verse is Genesis 12:3 from the King James Version.

Out of Ur God calls a man named Abram to follow Him to a new land and a new blessing. Abram, his wife Sarai, and his nephew Lot obey and follow God into the land of Cannan. However, famine in the land drives them to Egypt, and Abram, fearing for his life devises a plan to trick the Egyptians into thinking his wife is really his sister so that they will not kill him. Listen as we find out what God does with this half-truth and how His grace is present even when His servants act out of selfish motives.
