So an argument broke out between the herdsmen of Abram and Lot. At that time Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land.Then Abram talked it over with Lot. "This arguing between our herdsmen has got to stop," he said. "After all, we are close relatives! I'll tell you what we'll do. Take your choice of any section of the land you want, and we will separate. If you want that area over there, then I'll stay here. If you want to stay in this area, then I'll move on to another place." Genesis 13: 7-9

THe first immediate insight that came after reading this passage was a reminder that especially as leaders, how it is necessary to take charge of conflicts/arguments of the people you are placed in charged of. In times of conflicts, the leader got to rise up, take charge and settle the matter cleanly with the other leader. That's the lesson I take out from this passage. Love it when the bible comes alive.
