Genesis 13:10-13 NIV
"Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company: Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom. Now the people of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord."

We may wonder how sin finds us. We have come up with many excuses as to why we do some of the things we do. Truth is, if we would just pay attention to where we are everyday, we might find why we are so prone to sin the way that we do.
Here is an example with Lot. Lot chose what he thought was a great place to live. He set up his home just outside of Sodom and settled among the cities of the plain. But Sodom was a wicked city. I don't think lot knew that when he made his decision to live in this area, but it definitely had an influence on him, because before you know it, he is living in the actual city (after he knew it was evil) He became desynthesized by their way of living.
Pay attention to your surroundings. Keep yourself free from sin.
