📖 And Lot looked and saw that everywhere the Jordan Valley was well watered. Before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [it was all] like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
Then Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley and [he] traveled east. So they separated.
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the [Jordan] Valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom and dwelt there.
But the men of Sodom were wicked and exceedingly great sinners against the Lord.
⎯Genesis 13: 10-13 AMPC
We have to make sure that we always consult the Lord before making major decisions in our lives. A separation needed to take place between Lot and Abram because their substance had become great, and they could no longer co-exist. Lot looked at Sodom and Gomorrah and chose that place because it looked like the garden of the Lord. He based his decision on what He saw. As believers, we are to be led by the Spirit of God when it comes to major decisions in our lives. God knows what we don’t know. He sees what we don’t see. We must always endeavor to be in tune with Spirit of God so that we can always be in sync with Him. He always knows what’s best for us. Every good Father will do what is best for their children. We can expect no less from God.
