God called Abraham to leave his hometown Ur and go to the land of Canaan, and Lot went out with him. They set out from ur, first to Haran, and then from Haran to Canaan. He lived with Abraham for a while and began to get bored and want to settle down. He took a fancy to the whole Jordan Plain, moved eastward and finally settled in Sodom. A wrong decision has had a far-reaching impact on Lot. After more than 20 years, what can he save except his life? The property is gone, the house is gone, the wife is gone, and the two daughters are pregnant with their own children! On the contrary, Abraham followed God faithfully, and he did not leave the promised land of Canaan for the prosperity of Sodom. Facts have proved that Abraham became a pipe of blessing, he interceded for Sodom, he became an example of confidence for future generations, and he became the father of many countries. Although they started at the same time, their lives and endings were really different.
The preacher who serves the church must have a deep understanding of this. A group of brothers and sisters were baptized together, grew up together and participated in training together. Some hearts are incomplete and slightly deviated, and the result is thousands of miles away. Five years later, ten years later, the brothers and sisters were divided into two groups: one was Lot and the other was Abraham. The first group gradually became rich and entangled in the world. Although they love God and others, they don't work at all. Another group of people seems to have nothing, but they are greatly used by God to bring blessings to the people around them. Where are you today? Do you live in Sodom or in a tent in Canaan? You can intercede for others. Where's Ibrahim? Still can't protect their own root?
