It was about ten days ago that I saw something happen. We sat at dinner; the air was fresh with smells of turkey and mashed potatoes, and there they were – heaped up in the breadbasket, those hot grapefruit-sized homemade dinner rolls. That was a delight to smell and wait for.
But as I watched the basket go around the table, I noticed each one of the small children looking them over, even moving some aside and picking the BIGGEST AND BEST for themselves.
The problem is that the habit of picking the biggest or best for me is acceptable if you are shopping for sweaters, fresh produce, or good meat at the market. But it is deadly if that becomes the way to make decisions throughout life.
We all are in danger of turning out like Lot. And that is what we will learn tonight as we go to the World of the Bible, stopping in Abraham’s World tonight!
