Short meditation on Genesis 13

Let us experience the richness of sharing.

The way we choose seems to make us richer may be a short cut to poverty (Cf.: Gen. 13:10).

Maybe there are many and great sinners in the sight of God

in the place where I see abundance (vv. 10, 13).

Even though there is abundance, if our hearts aren’t abundant in the Lord, we will quarrel.

But if we have abundant hearts just as abundant material, there is peace (vv. 1-8).

How can one sees “Sodom and Gomorrah” in where people are wicked exceedingly

and sinners against the Lord live as “the garden of the Lord”? (vv. 10, 13) 

And how can he equate the expression “the garden of the Lord” with “the land of Egypt”? (v. 10)

What kind of person is Lot?  What kind of church member are you

that you see “Sodom and Gomorrah” that the Lord will destroy like “the garden of the Lord”?

Even though you may see with your physical eyes that the place like “the garden of the Lord” has abundant materials, 

when you see it with your eyes of faith,

there is the word of God’s promise to be fulfilled in the future(vv. 10, 14-17).
