Thought

Parts of Genesis 14 sound like the setting for an epic film: four kings against five, facing off in a valley full of tar pits. The kings of Sodom and Gomorrah flee, and the four kings seize the moment—all of Sodom and Gomorrah’s stuff, including Abram’s nephew. I Abram, with his 318 men, was surely outnumbered by four kings and their armies, but he did not let this stop him. When Abram courageously went after the kidnappers and rescued Lot and his whole family, God sent a special blessing to Abram. God blesses the courage of His faithful ones.
