In this episode of Light Among Peers, I read Genesis Chapter 14. When a coalition of kings goes to war and Lot is taken captive, Abram gathers 318 trained men, pursues the invaders, and successfully rescues his nephew. After the victory, Melchizedek — king of Salem and priest of God Most High — meets Abram with bread and wine, blesses him, and receives a tenth of everything. Abram then refuses the king of Sodom's offer of wealth so that no one can claim to have made him rich. This chapter highlights courage in action, generous response to God's blessing, and the integrity of trusting God rather than worldly gain.
