Today's Devotion:

365 Daily Devotions: Bible Character Edition

💁🏻 Who Is Lot? Abraham and Lot Separated
Lot was a man greatly blessed by God through his relationship with Abraham. He prospered, gained wealth, and was given freedom to choose where he would settle. In Genesis 13, when conflict arose between their herdsmen, Abraham graciously allowed Lot to choose first. Lot lifted up his eyes and chose the fertile plains of the Jordan—land that looked green, prosperous, and promising. Yet the Bible quietly adds a warning: the people of Sodom were exceedingly wicked. Lot’s decision was guided by sight, not faith. He did not ask what honored God, only what benefited him. Though Lot gained land, he slowly moved closer to moral danger. His story reminds us that good-looking choices can still lead to painful consequences. True wisdom is not choosing what looks best, but choosing what keeps us close to God.

🙏🏼 Prayer:

Father God, I confess that many times I am tempted to choose what looks good instead of what is right. Teach me to walk by faith and not by sight. Guard my heart from small compromises that slowly pull me away from You. Help me trust that Your will is always better than what the world offers. I want my life to be shaped not by what I see, but by what You have promised. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
