God invited Abraham to be the defense attorney for an ancient city named Sodom.

The lesson Abraham learned would be fulfilled on a much larger scale by a greater defense attorney two thousand years later.

Have you ever had a dream for your life that didn't happen? Unfulfilled hopes and dreams can lead a person to anger, frustration, and sadness. Abraham's wife experienced those very things, yet the way God helped her through it is the same way he helps people to this day.
