Convictions

I was recently reminded of the story in scripture about Abraham and Lot. Abraham had given to Lot the choice of where he wanted his family and all his substance to live. If Lot chose to go to the left then Abraham would go to the right, but if Lot decided to go to the right then Abraham would go to the left. The choice was entirely up to Lot. We know that Lot chose the fertile land near Sodom which left Abraham to go to the upper mountain area where most people would not choose. In time the hearts of the people of Sodom became so wicked that God said He would destroy the city. God knew all along what would eventually happen to Sodom as well the nearby city of Gomorra. For the time came when God destroyed both of those cities because of their sin.
Yes, I say that God knew all along how things would turn out with Abraham as well as Lot. Who do you believe made the right decision in the first place? It was the one whose decision did not end up in in a total mess. Abraham knew God would take care of him no matter what as long as he kept his eyes on The God of Heaven. I don’t see where Lot had that “conviction“ in himself to go where God would be pleased. Folks, where are our convictions these days. Are we concerned about ourselves or are we concerned about what God see in us? The choice is ours alone and the end result God knows already. The road may not be easy but I say “Let’s go God’s way. May the Lord Bless you real good.
