Abimelech recognizes that the Lord is God and feared the Lord in the dream he had. Sometimes we may find ourselves in situations where we might be afraid. That does not give us license to disobey God. Men are not to hit women but are to protect them. The word husband means caregiver, the husband is to take care of his wife and children. Despite Abraham's failure to protect Sarah, God stepped in to protect, Sarah, Abraham, and Abimelech. Sometimes we suffer not as a result of our doing wrong but as a consequence of the wrong doing of others. God is a gracious God, even when people mess up. God did not choose Abraham because he always got everything right. God is not okay with adultery, it is considered a horrible sin. God never contradicts Himself and He never lies or goes against His word. Abimelech repented and did what God told him to do, and God spared Him. God's grace is sovereign and He choose to make Abraham His prophet even though he missed up.
