God's Comfort in Loss
Multiple commentators highlight the timing of God's message. It comes right after Lot's departure, which they describe as a 'great grief' and a 'severe wound' for Abram. God's immediate reassurance serves as a comforting 'medicine' for Abram's loss. This shows that God draws near to His people to comfort them with His promises in their moments of pain and separation.
