The five kings of the Jordan plain are listed as the target of the northern alliance. Lot, who had pitched his tent toward Sodom (Genesis 13:12), is now living inside one of these target cities. His choice of Sodom has placed him directly in the path of war.
Memory phrase: Where we settle shapes the dangers we face.
Talk about it: Lot chose to live near Sodom. Now Sodom is under attack. How can the places we choose to be affect what happens to us?
Prayer: God, help me and my family make wise choices about where we spend our time and who we spend it with.
