Don't Force

 

Today's verse is Genesis 14:24

Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

    When I first noticed this verse, I took note of the fact that Abram did not force his convictions upon his neighbors, those men that had helped him retrieve Lot, and those that were with him. Let us, therefore, learn from this. There will be times that we must allow others to make their own decisions, and live or die by them, for each of us will have to give an answer to the God of Heaven who created us, and doing the right thing for the wrong reason will not save them, nor us. So, think right, live right, speak right, and God will see to it that those about us notice and be affected by our actions. Amen.

To God be the Glory
