1.  How does the text contrast Abram’s condition with that of Lot, and what does this tell us about Abram?
2.  What does it mean to say that as Christians God ensures our “safety”? Describe how this plays out in an individual’s life.
3.  How would you describe Abram’s character as depicted in this passage? What does it mean to say that faith is the powerhouse for service?
4.  How does Abram prefigure Christ in this narrative?
5.  How do these verses portray Abram’s “strength”? In what ways are we “strong,” and what does it look like to take advantage of God’s resources?
