1. God protected Abram in Egypt (12:10-20).

The land, where God told him to go, was struck by the severe famine. Abram didn't complain to God. He neither prayed to God. Rather he hurriedly evacuated into Egypt. In his desperate situation, he even lied that his beautiful wife was his sister. So Pharaoh took her as his wife and gave Abraham a lot of possession. However, God protected Sarai and Abram as he promised (12:3).

2. If you go to the left... (13:1-18).

Abram learned God's faithfulness in keeping his promise to bless him through disastrous situations. His faith grew to give the first choice to Lot, for he loved Lot more than materials. Lot didn't care for his aged uncle. He quickly chose the better land and went off. Abram lost the best land and Lot too. But God appeared to comfort Abram. He promised to give all the land that he sees. He also promised to make his offspring like the dust of the earth. So Abram believed God's promises and made an altar to the Lord to thank God.
