After returning from defeating Chedorlaomer and rescuing Lot, the king of Sodom offered Abram the goods he had obtained in the raid. Despite how tempting it is to receive riches from the hands of kings, Abram refused. Abram had a better reward. The Lord spoke to Abram in a vision, saying, “I am thy exceeding great reward” (Genesis 15:1). What a blessing when our eye is fixed, not upon earthly treasures, but upon the “treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal” (Matthew 6:20).
