Lot had a close relationship with one of the greatest men of faith in all of human history. His uncle, Abraham, brought Lot with him when he left his home to follow God’s leading to a new land.
As a result of their time together, Lot not only learned about God but profited materially in a great way as well. Yet he was not wise enough to want to stay with Abraham, and when the men who kept their large herds began to argue over land, Abraham graciously gave Lot first choice of where to go. Lot not only chose the area around Sodom, the most wicked city of the day, but when he set up camp, his tent looked toward Sodom. That choice led to great loss and sin for Lot and his family.
A.W. Tozer said, “If I look at the world, I will conform to the ways of the world. If I look at the Word, I will conform to the will of God.”
When we long to get as close to the world as we can and still feel good about ourselves as Christians, it will not be long before we pull back in our pursuit of God. There is a great drawing power in the things of the world.
The devil is a master of temptation, and we must remain on guard to keep our hearts fixed on God.
Every morning, even before your feet hit the floor, take a minute to ask God to help you face the right direction.
I would also like to encourage your family to join us from 6 to 10 p.m. May 26 as we have our Pendleton Block Party.
This is a free event that will include bounce houses, dunk tanks, food vendors and a whole lot more.
