Genesis 20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream one night and said to him, "You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman".
What I like about this is the way Sarah and Abraham were protected from the potential consequences of their sin - Abimelech hadn't slept with Sarah, and God spoke to him to return her. Abraham's plan could have seen him never seeing his wife again, and another man sleeping with her, but again we see a God who is gracious and merciful, who intervenes to get things back on track. Again, we mustn't try and solve things in our own 'wisdom' or strength, but rather rely on God.
