LOT'S BAD DECISIONS.
Ambitious Lot sought the promise of gain and of profit. He chose the city along the best trade route, with green plains and a large consumer market. He made his home in the wicked city of Sodom, abandoning the nomadic life of Abraham ( Gen 13:10-13).

In the end, Lot lost all his material possessions and part of his family. His dreams of prosperity having shattered, he was forced to flee to the mountains with his two daughters because of his shortsighted choice ( Gen 19:15-30).

God and two the Angels personally delivered Lot, his wife, and their two daughters. But his wife looked back and became a pillar of salt. Lot entered Sodom a wealthy man and came out with almost nothing. How careful we need to be about the kind of decisions that we make, especially thinking only of Short-term gains in contrast to the big picture ( See Mark 8:36,37).

The example of Lot going to prosperous Sodom ended in loss and suffering, By repenting, Lot was saved, and his name was preserved among the righteous ( 2 peter 2:7).

Jesus' appeal is still valid today: trust in divine Providence and lay up treasures in heaven ( Matt 6:19-21). Invest in the preaching the gospel while there is still time.
