Gen 13:10, AND LOT LIFTED HIS EYES AND SAW ALL THE PLAIN OF JORDAN, THAT IT WAS WELL WATERED everywhere (before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar.
1John 2:15-16, Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. FOR ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD—THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES, AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE—IS NOT OF THE FATHER BUT IS OF THE WORLD.
Gen 13:12, Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even AS FAR AS SODOM.
As 2Cor 5:7 says, FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT, Abram was walking by faith in his GOD, but LOT was guided by the lust of the eyes!
WHEN WE ARE GUIDED BY LUST, DESIRE OR EVEN OUR HEARTS WE END UP CLOSER TO THE WORLD BUT FURTHER FROM THE LORD!
2Tim 2:22-23, Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.
WALK BY FAITH & KNOW THAT HE IS WITH YOU!
