CONFLICT
So Abram
said to lot, "Let’s not have any
quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are
close relative."
As we continue our lessons from Moses' first book of the
five Pentateuch which means "five books," we learn a
lesson from Lot and Abram. Genesis 11:1-9 tells us that the 'quarreling' arose between
the two close relatives was quashed by what? Could it be simple reasoning…such as enough
for us both? Let’s find out.
QUESTION: Gen.13:1-12
Suppose we do find ourselves going head-to-head with a coworker, a friend or
our husband/wife? Hmmm, some would advise: "Fight to get what’s yours, to
get what you deserve." But Abram demonstrates another way. It’s the way of
peace. This way involves looking out for the other person’s interests, and not
just our own. It forces us to remember that everything in this world belongs to
God. He’ll make sure we get all that we need and more, so we can_
_quit
fighting for our "right to get what’s yours,
In Christ,
