Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Abram’s wealth increased during his sojourn in Egypt, along with the wealth of his nephew Lot. When the two families attempt to live side-by-side upon their return, conflict ensues. Abram does not covet earthly wealth for himself and entrusts himself to the LORD by letting Lot choose which portion of land to inhabit. Lot’s choice foreshadows the later judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah. When Abram receives his portion of the land, the LORD reiterates His promise to multiply Abram’s offspring.  Rev.
