“These things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things ...” - I Corinthians 10:6

The first command that Abraham received from the Lord was, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.” “And so Abraham went, as the Lord had told him.” (Genesis 12:4) But he took his nephew Lot along with him. And because of this, Abraham faced lot of problem. Abraham was a man of faith, whereas Lot was a worldly man and so he and his men could not get along well with Abraham’s men. Later Lot was taken a captive by the enemies and Abraham risked his own life to rescue him from them.

Dear friends, whatever we bring with us from old life into the new, is likely to create problems.  The life of faith demands total separation from what is evil and total devotion to what is holy.  In II Corinthians 6:14 and 17 Paul writes, “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.  ... Come out from them and be separate.”  Let us be careful. When we walk by faith, we should lean on God alone.  We should trust in His Word and rely on His power. We should believe that He who has called us will never do a mistake.  So when we step out in faith to follow Him, in obedience to His call, let us commit ourselves totally to Him.  Let us not compromise on any worldly matter.  Let us not associate with worldly persons in  any of our dealings.  We cannot certainly dissociate from them. We have to be friendly with them but should not be influenced by them because they would deviate us from our heavenly vision.  A little yeast is enough to ferment the whole dough.  So, let us trust God and obey Him, and not fall into temptation.

PRAYER: Lord, Abraham did a great blunder by taking Lot along with him as he set out for Canaan. He faced more of trouble than blessing because of Lot. When You ask me to separate from certain people or to leave certain things, let me not compromise but obey You fully. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen
