The God Of Promise
Today, we get to read about the faith of two different people who, in some ways, trusted in God. Abraham and Lot were both people that believed in God, but only one of them had true faith that lasted. Lot wanted the things in this world, whilst abraham centered his entire faith and hope on God and his promises. Which are we more like in our walk with God, Abraham or Lot?
Week 2: Making Godly Decisions
If you are following God’s will, you will ultimately be met by many difficult choices. Sometimes the answers will look obvious on the outside, but in following after God, we see that many times it’s not the obvious, easy path that God has called us to take. This week we will focus on making decisions that focus on what God wants and not what we want.
A Lot
This is one of those reminders of how to get to the promise land found in the story of Abraham and Lot.
The Lingering Effects of Sin (Gen 19:15-38)
Our focus shall be upon the effect on a family when the head of the household is not following God single-heartedly. First, we shall see the effect this had on Lot himself. The draw of the world and the way he had already compromised with it had so affected him that he had difficulty leaving it behind. Then there is Lot’s wife. She also had difficulty leaving the sinful city behind, and for that her life was taken from her. At this point the text will take a brief detour to make mention of Abraham. There we shall see the value of a godly, praying man. The narrative then returns to the lingering effect of sin upon Lot’s daughters.
Spiritual Blindness at Sodom (Gen 19:1-14)
We shall first see a vision test conducted upon the Sodomites and upon Lot. As a result of that test, we discover the blindness of the people and the blurred vision of Lot. Returning to the men of Sodom, we see their blindness manifest itself in a blind rage, as well as a blind rejection of salvation.
The Fight of Faith (Gen 14:1-24)
As we come to Genesis chapter 14, we find that Abram’s faith is once again put to the test. In order to rescue his nephew from captivity, Abram would have to overpower a much larger army with his servants, who were not trained soldiers. The second test will come at the end of the chapter, when Abram is tested to accept the riches and accolades of the world. This is perhaps the hardest test of all.
Trouble in Paradise (Gen 12:10-13:18)
Much of Abram’s blessing was stored up for the future and he had to rely on God’s word alone. That is certainly the case with the text before us, as this man of faith faced trouble in paradise. The first trouble that he faced was with outward circumstances and foreigners. The second trouble that confronted Abram was a family issue.
