Genesis 19:16-22

Today’s Scripture: Genesis 19:16-22 The Message – Lot was dragging his feet. The men grabbed Lot's arm, and the arms of his wife and daughters — God was so merciful to them! — and dragged them to safety outside the city. When they had them outside, Lot was told, "Now run for your life! Don't look back! Don't stop anywhere on the plain — run for the hills or you'll be swept away." But Lot protested, "No, masters, you can't mean it! I know that you've taken a liking to me and have done me an immense favor in saving my life, but I can't run for the mountains — who knows what terrible thing might happen to me in the mountains and leave me for dead. He said to him, "All right. If you insist. I'll let you have your way. And I won't stamp out the town you've spotted. But hurry up. Run for it! I can't do anything until you get there."
Today’s Word: Run
Today’s Prayer: Oh Lord, what a good lesson. If you say run from this sin, I pray that I do not argue with you as Lot did. You alone know what’s best for me. If I argue with you, do I come out from your protection? Would Lot’s daughters have had sex with him (Genesis 19:31-33) if he’d followed the advice of the Angel and gone to the mountains when he told him to? I guess I’ll never know the answer to that question. But I do believe arguing with you opens me to sin and sin makes me vulnerable to Satan’s schemes. My prayer is to get to a place in my relationship with you that as soon as you speak I respond according to your will.  I want to run toward you, not away from you. Amen.
