I was reading Gen 13. Abram and Lots men were fighting and Abram did not want this strife. So he told Lot to choose which way he would go and Abram would take what was left. This stuck out to me today because I have been reading the "Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyers. In there it gave the verse Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
Lot chose his territory based on his own understanding (reasoning). We see where this led to later in Genesis when he ended up in this horrible city of Sodom and Gomorrah.
We cannot base things or choose things based on our own understandings and reasonings. It will only get us into trouble usually just like Lot. We need to rely on God and on what His Word says and trust that!
