LECH LECHAW by Mark Gersten
Many of us have a crossroads or defining moment in time which sets us on a path for life.nce taken, it is almost impossible to retrace our steps back to the crossroads and take a different path The defining moment for Lot, who had just became wealthy was to abandon his spiritual uncle Abraham for the plush fields of evil Sodom. It was a path that would affect him and his progeny for all the generations,and it was a path of no return.
IF ONE WALKED WITH THE PRINCE OF G-D*

HE SHOULD FIND IT VERY HARD

TO LEAVE PERSUING OTHER THINGS

NO MATTER WHAT REWARD EACH BRINGS

LOT LEFT UNCLE ABRAHAM

A RIGHTEOUS, HONEST, WORTHY MAN

FOR FERTILE FIELDS IN SEDOM

AND MADE THAT EVIL PLACE HIS HOME

FROM THEN, THAT CHOICE DEFINED HIS ROLE

HIS ESSENCE, PLAN IN LIFE, HIS GOAL

SO WHEN G-D’S ANGELS CAME ONE DAY

ANNOUNCING: G-D WOULD BLAST AWAY

SODOM, ITS PEOPLE, “YOU CANT STAY”

THEY HAD TO PULL HIM ON THE WAY

TO CHOOSE BETWEEN HIS WEALTH AND LIFE

IN THIS TIME OF RISK AND STRIFE

HE’D RATHER LOSE HIS LIFE AND LIMB

THEN RICHES THAT HAD COME TO HIM

WE LEARN THIS STORY TO RECALL

THAT MONEY CAN’T PROVIDE IT ALL

IT’S DEDICATION TO HASHEM

THAT MAKES US WORTHWHILE, WORTHY MEN (*Abraham) Copyrightmarkgersten2012
