1st Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
[3] Peculiarity in destiny. Peculiarity in destiny regulates, and has jurisdiction over everything downstream in the lives of peculiar people for it permeates all of their interactions with their fellowmen, it resolves conflicts, it grants hope where there would be only a dark abyss, leading to never land, and it gives us something to live for, and much more to look forward to. When it came time to argue over real estate, as is so often the case with family members, and siblings, it was a no-brainer to Abraham, to surrender the first choice to Lot, in that which The Lord had promised to Abraham.
That’s because a peculiarity in destiny makes it not worth the while to fuss and fight over perishables. Since the peculiar people of God look beyond that which seen, to that which is eternal, it is not worth the time, the effort or the inevitable bad feelings to destroy relationships over houses and lands, for in a few short years we go to our resting place and leave all material things behind.
Abraham understood this, and since he was correct in his perspectives, and practice, he deferred to Lot, who at that time was obsessed with the things this world has to offer, and in the process, Lot lost all his material things, his wife, and his family. But with the peculiarity of destiny Abraham cultivated God could safely load him up with riches and material things.
Genesis 13:8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herd-men and thy herd-men; for we be brethren. 9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt 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.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
