When Lot moves away from Abram, he moves towards Sodom where the people were "wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord." (vs. 13) I wonder if Lot knew what he was doing in moving that direction.
We men have a way of setting ourselves up for a fall. I watch my 18 month old son, who is still learning to control his impulses, stand right next to--or even gently place his hand upon--that which he knows is off limits. I know that I, myself, have put myself in those positions as an adult. Was Lot looking for a little change in his routine? Or testing himself? He sure is getting himself in a tight spot.
