Can you get along?

From time to time we have problems with inter-personal relationships.  In my devotion today, I reading about Abraham and Lot in Gen 13:1-9.  Lot and Abraham were living in the same part of the country and both men were rich and had great herds of sheep.  This led to there not being enough pasture to support both herds and so the servants of the two men began quarreling.  Abraham was a wise man of God and so he suggested that they part company which somtimes you have to do to keep harmony.  Lot chose the fertile area around Sodom and Gommorah and Abraham chose to stay in the hill country.  Some would say that Lot made the better choice but we known from the Bible he did not.  There are a couple of lesson we can learn from this story.  First, there is a solution to every sticky situation and God will give you the wisdom to deal with it.  Sometimes you have to part company with someone to keep harmony.  Secondly, just because a choice you make doesn't seem the best choice at the time, but it could be the best one over the long run.  Lot chose to live in Sodom and Gommorah close to the world and it eventually lead to his downfall.  Abraham stayed in the hill country where he was away from the influence of the world.  A better choice in the long run.  We make choices everyday and some have no effect on us at all but some can change our lives, my advice is pray about as many as you can and trust God.
