Read Genesis 13
One of Abrams faults it seemed was that he deferred leadership and responsibility to others. Instead of leaving Lot behind with the rest of his family, he allowed him to follow along. Now that both men had grown in size and resources, they had to part ways. Instead of Abram taking the leadership responsibility in this matter of who would go where, he deferred to Lot to chose which direction he would go. The decision Lot made to select the land close to Sodom would prove to be a terrible choice in the days ahead.
God in his mercy and providence took care of Abram. His land selection would be the Promised Land that God would give to Abram's ancestors (as numerous as the dust of the earth). And there Abram built an altar to worship the Lord.
