DAY 23: THURSDAY NOVEMBER 23. 2023.

TODAY’S INSPIRATION: GENESIS 13V7-11.

“⁷ 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.

⁸ 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.

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.

¹⁰ And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

¹¹ Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.” (KJV)

INSPIRATION NOTE:

Genesis 13:7-11 showcases the account of Abram and Lot’s decision to part ways due to a conflict among their herders. This passage highlights the importance of reconciliation as Abram makes the selfless choice to maintain peace and harmony.

It serves as a reminder of the significance of resolving conflicts through peaceful means in order to promote unity and reconciliation among brethren and others.

PRAYER:

Dear God,

We pray for the wisdom and courage to seek reconciliation in our own lives. Help us to put aside pride and self-interest, and instead, choose paths that lead to peace and unity. Grant us the strength to heal broken relationships and foster reconciliation within our families, communities, and the world.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
