We can have poor judgement that causes major problems.
Abraham's nephew had problems in the family. He escaped the judgement of Sodom but there was many sins in the heart.
He drunk too much alcohol so he had sex with his daughters. His daughters lost their husbands in Sodom.
The daughters didn't trust in the Lord.
When a person don't trust in the Lord then that person will do wicked things.
Abraham's nephew needed to live a pure life but he didn't. He allowed his sins to destroy his life.
We need to submit to God and reject the sinful nature.
Genesis 19:30-33
30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”
33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
