"Abram got comfortable the place where there is Canaan, while Part got comfortable the urban communities of the valley, and moved his tents similar to Sodom."
— Genesis 13:12
Choices. We as a whole make them consistently. From what to have for lunch to potentially moving to another city and taking a new position, we are gone up against with dynamic consistently. Things being what they are, how well do you do when deciding? Do you realize how to make them God's way?
Dynamic consistently helps me to remember Parcel, Abraham's nephew. Part is an extraordinary case of a loathsome chief. He was a person who figured he could have his cake and eat it, as well. At the point when the opportunity arrived for him to isolate from Uncle Abraham, Part was given best option with respect to where to live. He settled on the choice to pitch "his tents similar to Sodom."
From the start redden, it didn't seem like that enormous or awful of a choice. That is to say, he wasn't really moving into the devilish city of Sodom, he was essentially pushing toward Sodom. Monetarily, it seemed well and good. His runs and crowds would get full and fat on all the lavish green grass in the zone around Sodom. Be that as it may, the otherworldly side of Parcel's choice was another story. What's more, that extremely significant side demonstrated greatly obliterating. Advancing toward Sodom was a choice that destroyed and demolished his life, his significant other, and his family. Sodom and Gomorrah were such underhanded urban communities that the fire of God in the end fell and devoured them in never-ending judgment (see Gen. 19 for additional data)
How about we consider Part's choice for a second and perceive how that addresses you and me today. There are three significant inquiries that we as a whole need to pose to ourselves before we settle on a choice on anything of criticalness.
1. Where will this choice lead? What is the possible consequence of this choice? An inconsistent burdened marriage? An undesirable pregnancy? An explicitly sent illness? A medication/liquor enslavement? For Part, advancing toward Sodom was a significant advance off course. Drawing near to Sodom was likened to a recouping alcoholic keeping a fifth of Jack Daniels in his storeroom. That is definitely not a decent move for those needing to remain calm. As the familiar saying says, "The individuals who would prefer not to tumble down shouldn't stroll in tricky spots."
2. Will this choice assist me with developing and laud God? Parcel's new companions were Homosexuals, individuals whom the Good book portrays as "extremely devilish and delinquents against the Master." As you take a gander at the companions you have decided for yourself, are these individuals getting you, or would they say they are pulling you down? As a minister, I have seen numerous great and faithful individuals wreck and crash profoundly. Customarily the fundamental explanation is "terrible organization." They picked companions who impacted them. The Good book says, "He who strolls with astute men will be insightful, yet the buddy of morons will endure hurt" (Prov. 13:20). "Try not to be hoodwinked: Terrible organization adulterates great ethics" (1 Cor. 15:33). Tune in, in the event that you are not kidding about your relationship with God, your inward friend network must be the individuals who stroll in the light with the Ruler.
3. What does this choice state about my heart and character? What did Part's decision to push toward Sodom state about him? In spite of the fact that he was a devotee, his heart was not directly toward God. He was centered around transgression and self, gold and eagerness. He wasn't looking for first the Realm of God, and it got evident as his life unfurled. Let me urge you to implore with me, "Change my heart, O God. I am so inclined to meander. Help me, Master, to adore You and want Your will and ways most importantly."
May God help us to remember these inquiries as we settle on choices throughout everyday life, since choices decide fate. On the off chance that you don't trust me, simply ask Part.
