Genesis 13:10-11 (NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah)\u2026Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan\u2026\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n What you see when you lift up your eyes depends on what is in your heart. If the heart is connected to God\u2019s heart, then our eyes will see with God\u2019s eyes. But if our heart is laced with the desires of this world, then our eyes will only see with the craving of covetousness and materialism. For Lot, he lifted up his eyes and did not see the godlessness of the plains of Jordan neither did he discern that God was going to destroy all that land. He only saw what his covetous heart desired to see: more opportunity, more expansion, more wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n May God prune our hearts and not our eyes. May we have hearts that are circumcised from the desires of human riches. May our dreams be aligned with heaven\u2019s agenda. Only then can we be sure that our eyes will see right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Circumcize my heart again Lord. Circumcise my heart. Let my heart only feel and sense and be attracted to what moves Yours. Destruction awaits me if I follow a self-centered heart, so please help me quickly Lord, in Jesus name. Amen.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Genesis 13:10-11 (NKJV) \u2018And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah)\u2026Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan\u2026\u2019 What you see when you lift up your eyes depends on what is in your heart.
