Genesis 13

God reaffirms His promise to Abram and expands on it. Not only will his descendants be “as the dust of the earth,” but they will also possess the entirety of the land of Canaan.

Abraham is gracious towards Lot, and Lot chooses the well-watered land. Unfortunately, that will be his undoing. Lot’s choice reminds us that when we choose the world, trouble is always the outcome: “Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the LORD” (WEB).

Thought for the day: worldliness is always devastating!

1 John 2:15-17 “Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s. The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever” (WEB).
