Genesis 12:7-20
7 But the Lord sent terrible plagues upon Pharaoh and his household because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram and accused him sharply. “What have you done to me?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ and allow me to take her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and get out of here!” 20 Pharaoh ordered some of his men to escort them, and he sent Abram out of the country, along with his wife and all his possessions.
Genesis 13:1-2
1 So Abram left Egypt and traveled north into the Negev, along with his wife and Lot and all that they owned. 2 (Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.)

Abram in his brief moment of doubt in God's power brought harm on Pharoh and his household. When Pharaoh found out about this he became somewhat upset. Well really he was ticked off. The order to kick Abram out of Egypt was placed. Can you imagine that? In the biblical days to be kicked out of Egypt.
In our lives does our brief moments of doubt bring harm to others? We decide we want to take the reigns from God and go our own route. This route is the one we THINK is the right. If a great man of God like Abram could do it we sure can.
Guess where Abram is now headed. Back to the Negev..
