Summary
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
GENESIS 14:1-12 - In the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, 2 these kings made war with Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar). 3 And all these joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea). 4 Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, 6 and the Horites in their hill country of Seir as far as El-paran on the border of the wilderness. 7 Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh) and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who were dwelling in Hazazon-tamar. 8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out, and they joined battle in the Valley of Siddim 9 with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings against five. 10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled to the hill country. 11 So the enemy took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way. 12 They also took Lot, the son of Abram's brother, who was dwelling in Sodom, and his possessions, and went their way.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends and welcome back to the Morning Mindset. |
| 0:06.7 | It's time for you and for me to get our minds aligned with the truth of God's word today. |
| 0:12.0 | I want to ask you to think about the kind of feelings you have when you're overcome by something |
| 0:17.8 | unexpected. I'm talking about those things where life just kind of sweeps you up in the course of |
| 0:23.3 | some big thing that's happening in you are just totally out of control. What does that feel like? |
| 0:28.5 | We're going to look at a scenario just like that today. But before we get there, |
| 0:33.1 | I realize some of you may feel that way about parenting. You may be discovering that parenting is |
| 0:38.6 | not for the faint of heart and you need some help to know how to guide those children to know and |
| 0:44.0 | love Jesus Christ. So they can become all that he intends for them to be. Well, my wife and I |

| 1:27.6 | with Birra, King of Sodom, Birshah, King of Gomorrah, Shinab, King of Adma, Shamibah, |
| 1:35.5 | King of Zeboim, and the King of Bella that is Zor. And all these joined forces in the valley of |
| 1:42.0 | Sidim, that is, the Salt Sea. Twelve years they had served Kedor Leomer, but in the 13th year they |
| 1:49.6 | rebelled. In the 14th year, Kedor Leomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated |
| 1:56.6 | Dura'fa'im and Ashtereth Karna'im, the Zooim in Ham and Imim in Sheva, Karyathim, and the Hora |
