Scripture: But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted my hand to the Lord, God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth, that I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ (Genesis 14:22-23 ESV)

Observation: Abram was wise in seeing that the King of Sodom could be glorified if he took riches from him.

Application: We must seek God above all else, being wise in who can claim influence in our dealings, lest God be robbed of glory and another lay claim to it falslely.

Prayer: Daddy, grant us wisdom to see the schemes of the wicked and let us instead lift our hand to You.  Amen.
