"Blessed are the peacemakers" True. True.
Abraham was the perfect example of a peacemaker.....he allowed Lot everything....all the cards. Lot took it all and ran....to the lushest spot. Abraham gave Lot first choice; putting Lot first above himself although he was the elder. He allowed for the probability that the land he would receive would be "less than" Lot's. For the sake of the family he was willing to do that! By doing this he became the peace maker in the family, and in this situation.....which already had experienced some turmoil.
I also found it interesting that after Lot was was gone............God came to Abraham and said...."Ok you are going to get it all" Blessed are the peacemakers....literally! I also thought it interesting that God told Abraham to " Go, and walk through the length and breadth of the land...." There are constant references in the Bible to walking......Enoch, Jesus, God in the garden, etc. etc. (Guess I had better head out for a walk.) He doesn't just "tell" Abraham.....Abraham goes out and physically "feels" the land. "Feels" his blessing. I like that thought of "feeling" God;s blessings.
