Genesis Chapter 13
V9 When Abraham separated from Lot, Lot chose the well watered plains of Jordan, whereas Abraham dwelt in the land of Canaan. Lot travelled East (away from God). Abraham looked for a City made by God. Often, God will cause us to not choose the easy life, the easy path, because the easy path will take away from him.
"For Thou who knowest Lord how soon our weak heart clings,
Has given us joy…..tender and true,,,but all with wings.
That all of us may seek on high …..diviner things.
I thank Thee Lord….. that though our lives so amply blessed,
We’ll never find …..(even though we seek)….. a perfect rest.
Nor ever will until we lean……on Jesus’ breast."
