Genesis 13
Today's Scripture
After Abram's little detour to Egypt, he gets back on track and re-enters the land of Canaan. The Lord blessed him--so much that he and his nephew Lot had to part company because their herdsmen had begun quarrelling over the land. Abram let Lot choose which land he wanted, and he chose a fine area for raising animals. God showed Abram the land of Canaan, which would be for him and his descendants.
God is good. Even when we disobey, he draws us back to himself--and wants to bless us as he blessed Abram. If we keep our eyes on him and follow the path he has chosen for us, we will know the fellowship of his presence and the riches of his mercy. It may not be an easy path, but it will be a path of joy if we are walking in the will of God.
