God Comes to Investigate Sodom

And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. Genesis 18:20-22

Steps 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12

God is headed for Sodom to check out all that He has heard about Sodom, and Gomorrah. God being all knowing did not have to come to Earth to check this out, but God chose to reveal Himself to Abraham, and to us, how He handles the issue of judging. He created a situation that Abraham will intercede for the people of Sodom. This will give us some idea of how God handles our cases. God loves us and wants to save us from our sins and our addictions. God allows Abraham to discuss this problem with the Judge of All the Earth. This interaction will turn into an intergalactic court scene.

Prayer for Today: O God in heaven, thank You that You have provided a Lawyer for us and an Intercessor for us. Only You could think of allowing Your Son Jesus to do all of these things for us. We need the best Lawyer in the universe and You have allowed Him to do this work for us. Help us to accept Your plan to rescue us from our addictions and from ourselves.
