In this next episode of Abraham's life, we see conflict arise between Abraham and his nephew Lot because there weren't enough resources in the land they were sharing to support all of their flocks and herds.

From this situation, we can see Abraham showing some valuable lessons about pursuing peace in the midst of conflict:

1. Pursuing peace is a determined decision.

2. Pursuing peace often involves taking the initiative.

3. Pursuing peace might be to your disadvantage.

Consider someone in your life who you're in conflict with right now.

What would it look like for you to make a determined decision to pursue peace with them?
