The life of God's people - those who worship Him (Genesis 13:4) - is
always set in the context of wickedness. There are always choices to be
made. Like Abraham, we can choose to worship God, or we can be like Lot
and choose to go the way of wickedness. The choices we make reveal the
people that we are. Those who choose the way upon which the Lord's
blessing rests show that their hearts belong to the Lord. Those who
choose the way upon which the Lord's judgment rests show that their
hearts belong to the world. the worldly man, Lot, thought only of
himself. The spiritual man, Abraham, concerned himself with doing the
Lord's will. There is a great difference between Lot and Abraham - "Lot
chose the whole Jordan plain for himself"; "The Lord said to Abraham ...
'I will give you all the land you see to you'" (Genesis 13:11,15). The
worldly man takes for himself. The spiritual man waits to receive from
God.
