Abraham – A Leader who Negotiated

Then Abraham said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak once more: Suppose ten should be found there?” And God said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.” Genesis 18:32 In Genesis 18 Abraham does something incredible. He argues with his ‘boss’. When God revealed that He planned to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham confronted God knowing that members of his family lived there and believing that God would never destroy righteous citizens. So he took a stand as all good leaders are able to do, and negotiated how many people it would take for God to withhold His punishment. Abraham wasn’t afraid to use his resolve and insight to insure the safety of his people. Please comment below or email me directly at curtis.songer@gmail.com
