Life is full of choices. Lot made a selfish choice (10-12). He allied
himself with 'the men of Sodom (who) were wicked and were sinning
greatly against the Lord' (13). Abraham made a godly choice, and he was
blessed by the Lord (14-17). The lesson of Abraham's choice is the
lesson of Matthew 6:33 - Seek God's glory and find His blessing. We read
later of Lot's restoration (19:29). This is 'amazing grace'! How much
better it would have been if Lot had chosen the Lord's way in the first
place! The choices we make reveal the people that we are. The worldly
man, Lot, thought only of himself. The spiritual man, Abraham, concerned
himself with doing the Lord's will. The worldly man takes for himself
(11). The spiritual man receives from the Lord (15). Our sin comes from
ourselves. Our salvation comes from the Lord. Confess your sin. Receive
God's forgiveness.
