Genesis 19:18 But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please!
Lot, what are you doing? Can you not be bothered to go farther to save your own life?!? The angels of the Lord have personally saved you TWICE. Why can you not take advantage of this gift you have been given?
Genesis 19:19a Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life.
But even as I type those words, I know I am just as guilty as Lot of not always taking advantage of the opportunities God provides, of dragging my feet when I am perfectly happy with the status quo and don’t want to make a change. Jesus, help me.
Genesis 19:19b But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die.
Precious Savior, Forgive me when I act like Lot in situations where You have provided me an out that I need but don’t want to take. Help me to be so aligned to You, so deeply rooted in You that Your will is my will. Help me, Jesus. Amen.
Genesis 19:20 Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.”
Have a blessed day.
