Introduction
13:1-4 Abram comes up out of Egypt, goes back to Bethel - to the place he made an altar at the first and he called upon the name of the LORD.
Notice the contrast between Lot and Abram (vv 5-9)
Lot and Abram each had great flock and herds, so many that there was not enough available pastureland for both.
Abram could have easily said (because of the promise God had made to him) Lot - leave - this land belongs to me.
But what did he do?
nothing.
That was his first reaction to worrying circumstances - he found contentment in God’s provision and rested in Him.
He waited.
13:7
Abram Spiritual maturity
Abram defers to Lot
Socially Abram was Lot’s senior - he could have easily claimed his right to ownership - he was the sole heir to the divine promise
Spurgeon once said: “it takes more grace than I can tell, to play the second fiddle well.”
That is exactly what Abram did here.
Lot was worldly in his desires
A man who is weak in his devotions and worldly in his desires will inevitably be wrong in his decisions...
The stops as well as the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord
Abram was divinely restrained from making the wrong choice, and then was reassured by God
....his possessions
According to us if we subtract one from one we have nothing.
God’s arithmetic is not like ours.
According to him if we subtract one from one we still have everything.
…his posterity
Abram’s hope was built on one son from which a nation of God’s people was built, but only one son...
Reading the book of Romans changed the life of Martin Luther.
Reading Luther’s preface to his commentary on Romans transformed the life of John Wesley.
Spurgeon was converted through Wesley’s teaching.
Spurgeon touched the life of young Henry Morehouse, who in turn transformed the ministry of D.L. Moody.
Attending one of Moody’s meetings transformed the life of C.T. Studd and six others who became known as the Cambridge Seven.
They in turn swept across the universities of England and Scotland, stirring students everywhere to lives of devotion and service for God overseas.
That is the kind of spiritual chain reaction that results when God bless a man
...
Abram was regulated by God…moved his ten and come and dwelt in the plan of Mamre, which is in Hebron and built there an altar to the Lord.
Abram found contentment in following the word of the Lord, submitting in obedience to the Lord, separating himself from Egypt and the call of the world.
“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.””
(Hebrews 13:5, ESV)
