Genesis 13:14
“And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:”
KJV
Read in Genesis 13Meaning
After the separation, God directs Abram's attention outward in every direction and renews the horizon of the promise.
Read carefully
The command to look belongs to Abram's covenant story; it is not a technique by which believers can claim whatever territory they can see.
Reflection
Perceived loss can look different when viewed within a larger promise and a longer horizon.
