'A Choice Made Without Prayer.'
Genesis 13:10-11.
a) Lot lifted up his eyes.
b) Lot beheld all the Plain of the Jordan.
c) Lot saw that it was well watered everywhere.
d) This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
e) It was like the Garden of Jehovah.
f) It was like the land of Egypt as one goes into Zoar.
g) Lot chose for himself all the Plain of the Jordan.
h) Lot journeyed East.
i) Lot and Abram separated themselves one from the other.
(This QT reveals to me A Choice Made Without Prayer)
PRAYER: To make the right choices in the Will of God.

'Christ Knew His Purpose When He Came To This World.'
Hebrews 10:5.
a) When Christ came into this World.
b) He said: "Sacrifice and Offering You do not desire."
c) But a body You have prepared for Me.
(This Second one teaches me that Christ Knew His Purpose When He Came To This World)
PRAYER: That we will know the Purpose that Jesus Christ has for our lives.

Chris.
What Lot saw was a tremendously strong temptation for him. A temptation to strong to resist! He chose the land that looked like the Garden of Jehovah, it looked as if the Lord was handing him a big "blessing" on a plate. He did not Pray or even think well, he just saw it, wanted it and took it. The "Lot" people and the "Abram" people are still in the Churches today. Surely God wants us to be "Abram" people, to Pray before we make our important life decisions.
