Go West, Young Man!
What if Lot would have gone West?
Gen 13
10 Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east.
How often does the “Looking” bind our minds into a lust that we can’t untangle ourselves from? This East choice of Lot’s became his family downfall. Abraham had no children, at this time, but all of the promises of God were with him as he chose to defer to his younger cousin.
Abraham was happy to be God’s joke on the world of his time. Father of many children? Ha, ha, ha.
Lot had a lot and wanted more. Daughters, reputation, servants, all because he stepped out on the promise to Abraham. Is the promise we are living under our own, or a borrowed one. God will make us show our hand with him. Come out from under the blessing of Abraham and see if you will still be blessed. There is no way! God said it. I believe it!
