Prioritizing God

Passage: Genesis 13:1-18

Preacher: Tim Badal

Series:Abraham

Detail:

Grab your Bibles and turn to Genesis 13 as we continue to look at the life of Abraham and what it means to be all-in for God and His Kingdom, not only today but for tomorrow. If there is a better picture of being all-in, I don’t know what it would be. Abraham was not perfect, but he served and honored God, making the decision to follow, trust and prioritize God.

His life had bumps and curves and issues along the way, but he showed us what it means to be persistent if we too desire to be all-in for God in the days to come. The pinnacle of Abraham’s life came after God fulfilled His promise by giving Abraham and Sarah a son, even when they were well beyond their childbearing years. Abraham was actually willing to sacrifice Isaac as a picture of what it means to be all-in. Now, we know the rest of the story. God did not require Abraham to make the sacrifice, but offered a ram as a substitute sacrifice. In that, Abraham showed his commitment to live open-handed before God.

As elders, it is that attitude that most excites us, as we also want to live lives that are all-in for God. We want to see how God might take our faithful obedience and use it to bless us and those around us, to multiply His work not only here in our church but all across the world.

We started our journey with Abraham in Genesis 12. There we saw that he was a man who lived a fairly obscure life in a place called Ur of the Chaldeans, which is northern Iraq in the modern world. He and his father were not only idol worshipers, but idol manufacturers. Joshua tells us they built idols for a living and that they had a great devotion to Nanna, the moon god.

As they were living their pagan life, worshiping other gods, God came to Abraham and said, “I want to do some great things in your life. I want to take you from an ordinary life to an extraordinary life. I will promise to give you and your descendants a land which I will show you. I will give you a son, even though you’re old, and he will be the first of many descendants that I will bless through you. Also, I’m going to use you as the funnel for all My blessings. As I bless you, I’m going to bless all people through you.”

We see that Abraham heard God’s word and obeyed what God called him to do. He took his wife, all their possessions, and even took his nephew Lot, and went out from their land. We’ll talk later about some of the dysfunction that came with Abraham’s relationship with Lot. Genesis 12 we see that they traveled until they reached Canaan and God told him, “Here’s the land. This is the place I’ve promised to give you. I want you to live here.” So Abraham made camp there and built God an altar so he could worship Him. Life was going well.

Isn’t that how it is? We make a commitment to follow God, and for a while life goes well. All is good with us and God. But then some circumstance rises, some unexpected consequence. For Abraham, it was a famine. God did not tell Abraham to leave Canaan. He had told him to stay put int his new home base. But when the famine came, instead of asking God for His will, Abraham decided on his own to go southwest to Egypt to escape the famine. Many of us do the same thing. When we don’t live out God’s plan for us, we put ourselves in a vulnerable situation. Had we stayed in the center of God’s will, we would not have had to deal with this challenge.

Abraham left Canaan, taking his wife, Lot and all his possessions, and went to Egypt. When they arrived, it got the attention of the Egyptians. Well, it wasn’t Abraham or Lot or their livestock that got attention—it was Sarah. The Egyptians were attracted to her beauty. Seeing this, Abraham became concerned. He realized the Egyptians might kill him if they knew he was her husband. So he told Sarah to say that she was his sister. Essentially he pawned off his wife to save himself. But God graciously protected her. Even though Sarah did go into Pharaoh’s harem, before she could be defiled, God brought plagues on Pharaoh’s household.

We’re not exactly told what the plagues involved, but Pharaoh somehow realized it was because he had taken Sarah into his house. He also figured out that she was Abraham’s wife. Having had enough of the situation, Pharaoh sent Abraham, Sarah and Lot and all their possessions out of his land.

So now where were they going to go? In the short section between Genesis 12 and 13, we see that Abraham was in a shameful spot. He had to leave Egypt, knowing he was a failure. He had betrayed God’s trust. This is important for us. When we fail God, we almost always also fail someone else.

That drive out of Egypt for Abraham and Sarah wasn’t any fun. Talk about an awkward car ride out of Egypt. “You were going to let me do what in Pharaoh’s house?” Abraham was about as low as he could get.

Husbands, there are a lot of bad things we do, but hopefully, none of us have ever handed our wives to the Pharaoh to have his way with her. Let’s be real about this. Can I give you some pastoral advice? When you have failed God and others, your quick response will be to assume God no longer wants anything to do with you. What we’re going to see, however, is that God still had plans for Abraham. Maybe you find yourself on that trip out of your own Egypt, your own failure, this morning. The devil is saying, “You can’t go back to God. He will not receive you. Your sins are too great. The last thing He wants is to see you again.” But can I remind you that although we wander away like Abraham, God is the Good Shepherd and goes after the wanderer.


Genesis 13 is an opportunity to see that we can still get right with God. God gave Abraham another chance. Even though his sin was shameful, God’s story line for him wasn’t done. Likewise, when our sin is great and we feel as though we’re chained to it, we must never forget, as Paul said, we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37). It’s not because we pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps. It’s because there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38). It was a bad day for Abraham as he left Egypt, but he was still willing to follow God. And if we also are still willing to renew our first love for God and place ourselves in His hands, our opportunity still will lie before us. But in order for this to happen, we need to prioritize some things.

In Genesis 13, we’ll see the idea of prioritizing God over other things. Let’s read our text, then we’ll dive into it.

So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb. 2Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4to the place where he had made an altar at the first.

Stop there for a moment. Here’s a great principle. When you have failed God and wonder, “How do I get back to Him?” go back to where you met Him in the first place. Abraham realized he had wandered far from God, so he went back to the place where he had experienced Him first.

We have a recent story of a life-defining moment in our church. A couple said they had attended our church years ago, but they had been wandering spiritually ever since. When they came to the decision that they needed to get right with God, they realized they should go back to where they had first known Him. Now they’re attending Village Bible Church again, growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. Sometimes we need to backtrack to the place where we once were with God, so we can meet Him there again. And that’s exactly what Abraham did.

And there Abram called upon the name of the LORD. 5And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, 6so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together, 7and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were dwelling in the land. 8Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are kinsmen. 9Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.” 10And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 11So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other. 12Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 13Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD. 14The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, 15for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. 16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. 17Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.” 18So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the LORD.

E. N. Gray spent his whole life searching for the one trait that makes people successful. He wrote an essay that’s been read over and over again, called “The Common Denominator of Success.” In it, he revealed that the chief characteristic for success in life is not hard work, it’s not good luck, and it’s not astute human relationships, although these are important. The one factor that seemed to transcend all the rest is the habit of putting the first things first. In other words, it’s having the right priorities.

We all have priorities and they’re different from one person to the next. But whether we’re believers or not, we all have priorities. These priorities determine where we invest our first and best efforts. For some, it might be their marriage; for others, it’s their family. Some make their work their highest priority, or their favorite hobby or sports team. Each of us has a special passion that makes us who we are—something that makes our blood pump in a way nothing else does. For the world, all of these things are good and important. But for believers, the most important thing—our greatest priority—is God. It has to be God.

We often use the phrase being “God-centered.” This means putting God first and allowing all other activities in our lives to flow from that center. In other words, His priorities are to be our priorities. It’s as though God is the center hub of our life wheel. Everything goes out from that hub, including our marriage, education, passions and pursuits. Whether these are good, bad or ugly, they all have to start with God at the center.

This is what A. W. Tozer meant when he said the Christian life must be a life that is lived in a continual state of unbroken worship. It’s what Paul meant when he said in 1 Corinthians 10:31, “Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” God is the first thing. He is the best thing.

This is what God was telling the people of Israel when He told them He was a jealous God and that they were to have no other gods before Him (Exodus 20:3, 5). I think it’s altogether right to change the word “gods” to “priorities.” “I am your God and you shall have no other priorities before Me. When you wake, I should be what you’re thinking about. When you go to bed, you should be thinking about Me. I am the funnel through which every decision needs to be run. It’s all about Me.” We’ll see this principle lived out in Genesis 13. We will see two men, one of whom sets his priorities based on God; another who makes them based on himself. The question we need to ask—which can fundamentally change who we are and determine the course of our lives—is who is number one in our lives? It is God or is it something else?

Genesis 13 opens by telling us that Abraham and his family had left Egypt and that both Abraham and Lot were very wealthy. This is the first mention of wealth in the Bible, giving us a clue of what having possessions can do to us, especially in the context of a family. It brought strife. Their livestock had increased so much that now the two households would be forced to separate so their herds could be supported. Abraham should have simply told Lot to go his own way. He had the authority to do that. But instead, Abraham was gracious and generous. He not only agreed to divide the property, he also let Lot make the first choice of where he would live. He said, “If you choose the left, I’ll go right. If you choose right, I’ll go left.” As we’ll see, Lot chose not to make God his priority, but rather his own wellbeing.

We need to realize that each of us are either Abrahams or Lots. Either God is our priority or something else is. So let’s look at some ways to understand what our priorities actually are.

Priorities are defined by what captivates us.

First, no matter our age, we all have priorities and define them by what captivates us. Webster defines priority as “giving supremacy or regarding one thing as more important than the other.” When we make decisions between two things, it reveals our priorities.

Some of you will go home this afternoon and your priority will be to watch football. That means you’ve made a decision to have a relationship with football that will trump other relationships. It might trump your relationship with your spouse or children. It might trump the relationship you have with your neighbors, your schoolwork or your work tasks that you’ll need to have ready for tomorrow. But the reason you made the decision you did is because you love football. I love football. I love how I feel when I watch it. I love the excitement. I’m not saying you can’t make football a priority. We all have priorities, but they need to be placed in the proper order or they will cause our lives to be out of alignment.

We make our decisions based on what captivates us. So if I were to take a poll here and ask, “Is God your number one priority?” I think the majority of us would say yes. Sometimes we can talk about priorities, but if they aren’t being lived out, they’re not really a priority at all.

I think both Abraham and Lot would have said God was their priority. But as we’ll see, it was true for only one of them. How do we really find out what our priorities are? Let’s look at three tests.

The Calendar Test

What does your calendar say about your priorities? What does your daily planner say about what is most important to you? What does your daily routine look like and what does that say about you? It isn’t that there aren’t a lot of things that you need to do. You’re not going to hear me say that anything is bad, except what is prohibited by Scripture. But which things are most important? Take a look at your schedule over the last several days. Ask yourself, “If someone looked at my calendar, would they see that God is my number one priority?” Or are they seeing all kinds of secondary things as being more important? We need to think about these things.

You’ll know right away from my physique that I’m not the sort of person who begins my morning by investing an hour at the gym. I wish I could get there, but I’m not. Some of you who do go to the gym never spend time in God’s Word. So you’re physically fit, but spiritually flabby. That’s a bad priority.

Some of us are watching hours of television. The Bible doesn’t say we can’t watch TV; the Bible didn’t know about TV at the time. We find ourselves captivated and “binge watching,” but do we ever talk about binging on God. That’s a bad priority and our calendar can reveal that. If you look at the story in Genesis 13, we never find Lot directly engaging God. When Lot was given the offer from Abraham, Moses did not write that Lot decided to first pray about what to choose. There’s no indication that he was concerned to honor God or ask Him for wisdom. There was nothing in Lot’s daily planner that indicated God was his priority. On the other hand, we see Abraham building an altar to God twice. He was intentionally creating a time and place to make God His priority.

The Conversation Test

Second, you need to think about your conversations. If God is your priority, two conversations should be happening on a daily basis in your life. First, there needs to be conversation with God, then second, there needs to be conversation with others about God.

We see none of this in Lot’s life. The only prayer in all of Scripture that we see him praying was right before Sodom and Gomorrah were about to be destroyed. It was an off-the-cuff prayer that centered on self-interest. It would be like one of our students who didn’t study for a test giving a last-minute prayer when the test was handed to him. “O dear Lord, I pray that You would help me pass this test. Give me the knowledge I need. You promised to be with me to the end of the age and I need You now.” That was what Lot was praying.

By contrast, Abraham had lots of dialogues with God. In fact the Bible says of Abraham that he talked with God as a friend talks with a friend. His conversation with God was ongoing. He had an awesome, free-flowing relationship with God, which is why God called Abraham His friend. We will also see that when Abraham had conversations with God, he then also told people who didn’t know God about what God was doing. In other words, not only was Abraham in frequent conversation with God, but he was also often in conversations about God with other people.

So think back over last week and let me ask you a question. How much time did you spend one-on-one with God? It’s fine if you’re not claiming that God is your priority. Maybe your gym membership is, or your work, relationships, TV or your possessions are. I’m pushing back on those of you who say God is your priority, but you haven’t talked with Him all week.

When you talk with others, the conversation test would ask what the first things out of your mouth are. Are you talking about the weather? Are you talking about the football team? Are you talking about your kids? Are you talking about politics? When was the last time in an open conversation said, “Can I just tell you what God is doing in my life?”

This last week I catered at a church and could tell the people weren’t sure what to make of me. They see me as a caterer, but they don’t know me as a pastor. They were whispering about what God was doing. I was chuckling as I watched the dynamic around me. I guess they thought I’m a sinner. I came to the table where five or six ladies were standing. I said, “If you’re going to talk about our Savior, can you do it a little louder?!” They were startled. “You’re a believer?” “I am. And why would you whisper about our God?” They’re still thinking, “Who is this caterer? Where did he come from?”

So many of us fail the conversation test and the big reason is because God is not our priority.

The Checkbook Test

There’s one final test and this one is hard. “Pastor, don’t go there.” Well, if you’re going to prioritize God, then God gets the first and best of everything—your calendar, conversations, and checkbook.

It’s subtle at first in our text. When speaking of the riches of Abraham, we read that he had gold and silver—and he had a tent. Notice that it is singular. He could have had lots of tents, but he had made his dwelling in one place, the place where God had called him.

Look Genesis 13:5 and see that Lot had “tents”—plural. Why did he need tents? He only had one body. Why did he have multiple tents? It seems Abraham was richer, but he only had one tent. We see that Lot chose his possessions over his passion for God. He built into his present life, while Abraham did not.

Turn for a moment to Genesis 14. Not long after Lot settled in Sodom, problems began to occur. Being the benevolent uncle, Abraham rescued his nephew from destruction. This was the first of multiple times he did that. Later he rescued Lot from a war that broke out. In that situation, Abraham was offered the spoils of the war, but he chose not to take it. As he was walking away from this opportunity to increase his wealth, a mysterious man appeared. His name was Melchizedek. Look at Genesis 4:18: “And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was a priest of God Most High.)” The way Moses wrote this, it seems like Melchizedek is someone greater than just another king. That’s why historians and Bible scholars believe Abraham was experiencing a theophany, which is a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus before He came as a baby in Bethlehem. Being fully God, Jesus was in the beginning with God and made appearances in the Old Testament as a preview of what God had planned.

It appears in this story that this man took the name Melchizedek. We’re given no genealogy of the man. In Hebrews He is also depicted as being more than human. He brought Abraham bread and wine and we’re told He’s a priest of God Most High. Then in verses 19-20 we read, “And he blessed him and said, ‘Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!’”

How did Abraham respond? We see in verse 21 that he gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything he owned. Abraham could have raised his standard of living, but instead, he chose to raise his standard of giving. Instead of building tents for himself, he tithed to the Lord. That’s important for us to understand. If we’re going to pass the checkbook test, we have to be giving to the Lord. That means we have to say no to ourselves, giving God the first and best of what we are and have.

If someone looks in my checkbook, they won’t see that I’m about my house, my car or my 401k. They won’t see that I’m about my kids’ education or savings or vacations. What they’ll see from my checkbook is first and foremost, I’m about God and His work in the world.

You have two choices. Either you’ll choose greed or you’ll choose generosity. Many of you who here today are wondering why you’re not having a breakthrough in your life; it’s because God doesn’t work with greedy people. I know that’s hard to hear. If we take all God has given us and never give Him anything back, there’s only one word for that—greedy.

Do you know what Lot did? He was the recipient of all Abraham owned when he tagged along with his uncle. He had the opportunity then to choose where he would live. Abraham, as a picture of God, said, “Lot, choose where you want to live.” Notice that Lot didn’t push back. He didn’t say, “Who am I to have that choice? You are greater. I give the choice back to you.” Abraham said, “If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right. If you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.” Lot said, “Okay—deal.” There were no words of gratitude. God had given Abraham that land. Now Abraham was sharing what he had been given. He was being a blessing to his nephew, but Lot never argued or even said thank you.

There can also be a lot of Lot in us. God has given us every good blessing under heaven. Have you ever stopped to say thank you to God? Have you ever told Him, “I have wealth because of You. I have life and breath because of You”? Abraham shows us a life of gratitude and generosity. So we can say until we’re blue in the face, “God is my number one priority.” If we’re honest with  ourselves, do these three tests—our calendar, our conversations and our checkbook—confirm that? In Abraham’s case, they did. Lot, however, failed miserably.

Priorities are decided by our choices.

There’s a second truth is this: priorities are decided by our choices. Lot was given a choice. Moses helps us understand this. Lot chose to live outside of Canaan. How do we know that? In Genesis 13:10-11 we read:

And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other.

Verse 12 confirms what this meant: “Abram settled in the land of Canaan.” If he settled in the land of Canaan, where did Lot go? Outside of Canaan. This is important. It meant Abraham was staying in the center of God’s will. He stayed where God had told him to settle. Lot got just outside God’s will.

Why would he do that? Why would anyone walk outside the will of God? It’s because he made a choice based on what he saw. It was land like he had seen in Egypt. He saw that it was well watered. Why was that a big deal? Because Canaan was not well watered. It was in a famine. Remember that God used an analogy with Abraham, telling him that his descendants would be like the dust on the ground.

Lot saw the lush land in the Jordan valley, which represented financial prosperity. He also decided to move to Sodom. Moses tells us in verse 13, “Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the Lord.” What Lot saw in Sodom was what scholars believe he saw in Egypt: debauchery, sin and paganism. For some reason, that was attractive to him. He made his decision based on what he saw.

Are your choices in life based on what you see?

We need to realize we do this a lot as well. The Bible calls this “the lust of the eyes” (1 John 2:16). Why did we buy that car? Because we saw it and it looked good to us. Why did we go after that inappropriate relationship? We saw her, we saw him, and it was enticing. Why do we do the things we do? We saw what our neighbors had, we see what we have, and those two things don’t match. So we have to keep up with the Joneses.

The fallen world makes decisions based on what they see. Sadly, you and I are tempted to do that as well. That’s why the world advertises the way it does. It shows us, “You can have this. This is yours for the taking.” There were billboards all over the place drawing Lot to Sodom and he fell in love with it. He had to have it.

Does the song sung by Tim McGraw run through your mind when you see something? “I like it. I love it. I want some more of it.” So you go by the car lot, look at your own jalopy and say, “I like it. I love. I want some more of it.” Then you find yourself in the showroom. The world tempts us with things. They might be good things. It’s not bad that Sodom was filled with great vegetation. It was what he could personally gain from it.

Are your choices in life based on what God says?

The only way we can stop making choices based on what we see is to make our decisions based on what God says. I want to show you a couple maps. Bethel is in the middle of the province of Ephram. The colored area is the Promised Land. This is the land God had given Abraham. If you look from the north to the south, from the east to the west, Bethel was smack dab in the middle. Abraham was exactly where God wanted him to be. He was there because God had told him to go there. By comparison to what was being offered in Sodom, it was night
and day different. Abraham was living in a place of famine in Canaan, while Sodom was enjoying lush vegetation. Lot went across the Dead Sea into the land of the Moabites , outside the land of God in Canaan.
      

 

We need to ask ourselves a similar question: “Am I living where God wants me to be or am I living where I want to be?” I’m not talking in a physical sense, but in a spiritual sense. “Am I residing where God has told me to live or am I going to live on the periphery doing what I want, when I want and how I want?”

God told Abraham, “I want you to live in Canaan.” God says to us, family of Village Bible Church, “I want you to be in the center of My will.” We have to decide. We’ll either do what God says or we’ll decide based on what we see. A person who prioritizes God goes to the Scripture and says, “Yes, the world advertises that. Yes, the world is offering that. But my God says, ‘Flee youthful lusts, young man. Run away from them, so I might be honored’” (2 Timothy 2:22). May we choose to honor Him in all we do.

Priorities will determine our course in life.

One final thing we see about priorities is that they will determine the course of our lives. We’re going to make decisions based on our priorities and these choices send us on a trajectory. Lot decided based on the lust of his eyes and it led to issue upon issue upon issue. He chose that route and God let him go there. But in the end, he found himself living in a cave—why? Because his hometown had been decimated by the punishment of God. He was a widower—why? Because a woman he met in Sodom who became his wife loved her hometown more than she loved God, she looked back and became a pillar of salt. Because his daughters grew up in Sodom, they did the unthinkable in the cave and defiled the descendants of Lot forever.

Listen to me. When we choose to go our own way, the Bible is clear. There is a way that seems right to a man, but it ends in destruction (Proverbs 14:12). So go your way, but you will reap a harvest of sorrow.

Abraham prioritized God and God blessed him. Abraham wasn’t perfect, but he experienced the presence of God. He was allowed to host God at his tent. Talk about intimacy. Abraham was told the plans of God. He lived to be a ripe old age and saw God’s promises fulfilled. He realized God would give him descendants who would outnumber the dust on the ground and the stars in the heavens. So it will be for us when we prioritize God.

Let me close with this thought. The reason why I’m so excited about “all-in” for tomorrow has nothing to do with the building. Rather, it’s an opportunity for us to get right with God in our priorities. Amanda and I have spent a lot of time talking about our priorities and we’ve had to make some changes. We’ve had to get rid of some things we thought were priorities, so we might commit more to the Lord.

These commitment cards are not just numbers on a sheet of paper so you can calculate things. This is a physical reminder that God is in charge, that He desires to be number one in your life. So as you prayerfully consider these things, as your leaders have already done and have committed before the Lord, God is asking, “Is this all about you or is it all about Me? Am I going to be first and foremost in your life or are you going to be first and foremost in your life?”

The only way we can battle greed is through generosity. Abraham shows us that. So let me challenge all of you who say God is your number one priority to show Him. Don’t just say it. Show it to God and to the world. “God, You are my first and my best.” I want us to make the song we’re going to sing our closing prayer. It goes like this: “Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You. There is no greater thing. You’re my all, You’re the best. You’re my joy, my righteousness and I love You more.”

That needs to be the prayer of this church, of people who prioritize God over everything else. Doing that will be determined by the choices we make. Will we be Lot, or will we be Abraham?
