Genesis 13:10 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
Abram’s and Lot’s shepherds fought over money. That happens routinely in this world. After reading a will, families often split up. Abram graciously offered Lot first dibs on territory. Lot picked the best pasture for his livestock. The author inserts a footnote since readers understood the location was bleak. It was green when Lot chose it before Sodom and Gomorrah.
The text describes Abram’s next God encounter. God promised Abram’s descendants everything he could see. Meek will inherit earth. Who chose wisely—Abram or Lot? Abram did, but not because he received the greatest land, but because he prioritized others and obeyed God. Godliness rewards itself.
Beauty is frequently deceiving. Looks tricked Eve in the Garden (Genesis 3:6). Abram saw eternal things in heaven. He believed in the unseen (Hebrews 11:10). Your hopes are where?
Prayer: Lord of all things, help me have Your desires. Help me focus on heaven rather than earth (Colossians 3:1-2). May Your grace protect my eyes from fooling my heart.
The Great Tribulation
It is our belief that the Great Tribulation referred to in the New Testament Book of Revelation (chapters 6-11) is unfolding before our eyes. In the near future, we will devote the “Tribulation” tab on our “Trending” menu to this emerging reality. As people continue to unplug from mainstream media, our commitment is to present the truth and encourage our audience to understand current events from a Biblical perspective.

The Watchman
In the Bible, the Watchman is responsible for keeping watch and warning others of potential danger or impending judgment. The role is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Ezekiel. In Ezekiel 33:6, God says to the prophet Ezekiel, “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.” Click here to begin the journey.
