S - Genesis 13:9 The whole countryside is open to you. Take your choice of any section of the land you want, and we will separate. If you want the land to the left, then I’ll take the land on the right. If you prefer the land on the right, then I’ll go to the left.
O - Abram is talking to Lot in this scripture and is giving him the option of which land to occupy since they were getting too large to live together.
A - Abram shows a great example of selflessness here is offering Lot the first choice of land even though Abram was his uncle and his authority. I need to have this same level of selflessness and give to my family and those around me even though something may rightfully be mine. Just like Abram was rewarded with what turned out to be the better portion of land because of Sodom being near Lot's choice, I too will be blessed in giving to others around me as God will always provide richly for me.
P - God, help me to be selfless in everything that I do and to be a servant leader. I want to live a life that is pleasing to you and to bless those around me, especially my wife and children. Help me put to death that selfish part of me and to give me the strength and courage to do what is most beneficial to those around me. Bless my family and me today.
