Genesis 20 · Grade 2
God Speaks in a Dream
Read the Story
Abraham and Sarah moved to a place called Gerar. Abraham was afraid, so he did not tell the whole truth. He said that Sarah was his sister. The king, Abimelech, took Sarah to his palace.
But God was watching over Sarah. That night God spoke to the king in a dream. God told him that Sarah was Abraham's wife and he must give her back.
The next morning the king gave Sarah back to Abraham. He also gave Abraham sheep, cows and silver. Abraham prayed for the king, and God helped the king's family.
Memory Verse
“God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you to touch her.”
