Genesis 13: Paths Part and Promises Reaffirmed

Abram and Lot separate to avoid strife; Abram yields choice and God reaffirms the land promise.

Core Message

Yielding rights for peace can position you to see God’s promise more clearly.

Flow

  • Conflict risk over grazing; Abram proposes separation.
  • Lot chooses by sight; Abram trusts God for the unseen.
  • God reaffirms promise: land and offspring beyond counting.
  • Abram builds an altar at Hebron.

Key Verses

  • 13:8-9 “Let there be no strife… choose.”
    • Apply: release control to preserve unity.
  • 13:14-15 Lift up your eyes—promise restated.
    • Apply: God fills what you release.

Notes

  • Lot’s choice near Sodom foreshadows trouble.
  • Altars mark trust after yielding.

Today’s Practice

  • Choose peace over preference in one conflict.
  • Revisit God’s promises after you release something valuable.
