Sin Foundations - Wrong Place


"And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is Zoar) came out; and they arrayed for battle against them in the valley of Siddim, against Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of Goiim and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar - four kings against five.

"Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell into them.  But those who survived flee to the hill country.  Then they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food supply, and departed.  And they also took Lot, Abrah;s nephew, and his possessions and departed for he was living in Sodom." Genesis 14:8-12

Once we wander away from our Heavenly Father, no matter how attractive that place may seem, we may find danger and loss there. 

Take care with love, especially His!  Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
