The reassurance of Abraham

Genesis 20:3, 3. "But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him: Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman you have taken; for she is a man’s wife."

AELW 3:328

"Learn, therefore, from this passage what a great thing faith is and how pleasing a sacrifice a believing heart is to God. When Abraham has been left in the lurch by his own counsel, he is saved by the promise. Hence if we, too, are living in dangers—as is utterly inevitable, provided that we want to be true Christians—let us trust in the Lord’s help, which the promise makes certain for us in accordance with the declaration (Ps. 50:15): “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you.”
