Genesis 13:14,
‘And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: …for all
the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.’
LOT chose what pleased him and got what
he desired. He chose for himself, and he’d be responsible for the
consequences of his action. On the other hand, Abram let God choose
things for him. While Lot got the land, Abram got the promise.
Lot lost what he chose; He had to flee
from the land of his choice. Abram became Abraham, the father of nations
and the father of the faithful.
Inadvertently, Lot fell into sin against
God with his daughters. Abraham believed in the Lord, and He accounted
to him for righteousness. Lot’s descendants forever stand against God.
Abraham’s descendants are waiting on the Lord for the fulfillment of the
promise.
When did God reiterate His promise to
Abram? When Lot had separated from him. What is it that you need to
separate yourself from, today to claim your promises in Christ? Think
and evaluate.
