genesis 13 - choice


When Abram and Lot seperate, Abram gives Lot the choice of where to go. Abram trusts that God will give him the land He has been promised, He doesn't feel the need to try and take the initiative himself and get the best looking land. Lot, on the other hand, looks at the physically attractive land and chooses that, basing His decision totally on his livelihood, seemingly without involving God in the decision at all. As it turns out, this choice of land will result in his wife dying and his daughters with a messed up view of sex because they were living in a town of perverts. What looks like the best decision for me financially, may not be the best decision spiritually. God needs to be the focus of the decision making process.
