[Guest In Him]

And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle:

and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.

And Abram said unto Lot,

...Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.

Genesis 13:5-8

'Is not the whole land before thee? 
.. separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: 
.... if thou take the left hand, 
...... then I will go to the right; 
........ or if thou depart to the right hand,
..........  then I will go to the left.'
(Gen 13:9)  

Praise God! For His loving-kindness, mercy and grace!

And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan,

like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.  Genesis 13:10

'And the LORD said unto Abram, 
.. after that Lot was separated from him, 
.... "Lift up now thine eyes,

.......... For all the land which thou seest, 
............ to thee will I give it, 
.............. and to thy seed for ever. ... ... "'

.. so that if a man can number the dust of the earth,

.......... for I will give it unto thee.'
