1. Lot had great opportunities and wasted them. Seeing Abraham blessed, he could have asked God for a pure heart, abandoned his ambitions, and trusted in the Lord. He could have avoided the dispute between the shepherds and honored Abraham by allowing him to choose first. Even after being rescued from captivity and saved by the angels of destruction, he still did not turn back. Let us take advantage of the opportunities (Genesis 12:1, 4; Proverbs 4:23).
2. Ruth, a Moabite descendant of Lot, redeemed the honor of her ancestor through God’s infinite mercy. She did for her mother-in-law, Naomi, what Lot should have done for his uncle, Abraham. Ruth did not want to leave Naomi; on the contrary, she followed her faithfully and adopted God’s people as her own people and the Lord as her God (Ruth 1:16-17).
3. Lot should have shown Abraham the same attitude that Ruth had toward Naomi. He could have said that he didn’t want to separate and be blessed. But it was Ruth who had that heart, and God honored her, making her the grandmother of King David and part of the genealogy of Christ. Let us be like Ruth and choose the path of blessing (Genesis 13:11; Ruth 1:16; Matthew 1:5-6).
4. “We must do the will of the one we serve. We cannot be protagonists, but let us follow the example left by Jesus. The church is a helper of Christ. If we are helpers of Christ, at every step we take we must seek fellowship with the Lord. It is a principle that, when we follow it, will bring us God’s protection” (John 5:19, 30; 7:18; 1 Corinthians 11:3) (Daily Food, book 3, week 4, Sunday, p. 72).
