"And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. Genesis 13:14-15.
Not everyone in your life is meant to stay with you until the end. Some people are in your life on short-term basis, while few are really destined to be in your life for the long haul. The greatest mistake you can ever make is attempting to accomplish permanent things with such temporary individuals. The scripture says, after Abraham separated from Lot, the Lord spoke to him afresh and gave him a broad vision of the Promised Land. Who are the Lot's kind of people? They are people with short-term vision. They don't see beyond the present. In fact, every decision they make is based on what they can gain today, not what they can make happen beyond the present. Abraham's kind of people are really different from the Lot's kind of individuals. The Abraham's don't only work for the present, in fact, what they do in the present is inspired by the vision of the future they see. Abraham kind of individuals can only travel with Lot's kind of individuals for a short while, but their separation is inevitable. Stop trying to accomplish permanent things with temporary individuals. DrBenard Etta
