Have you chosen to live or work in a "Sodom"? (Genesis 13:10-12)

Genesis 13:10-12

The Message (MSG)

^10-11 Lot looked. He saw the whole plain of the Jordan spread out, well watered like God’s garden, like Egypt, and stretching all the way to Zoar. Lot took the whole plain of the Jordan. Lot set out to the east.

^11-12 That’s how they came to part company, uncle and nephew. Abram settled in Canaan; Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent near Sodom.

 

 

Good pasture and available water seemed like a wise choice to Lot at first. But he failed to recognize the wicked Sodom could provide temptations strong enough to destroy his family. Have you chosen to live or work in a "Sodom"? Even though you may be strong enough to resist the temptations, other members of your family may not. While God commands us to reach people in the "Sodom" near us, we must be careful not to become like the very people we are trying to reach.
