Sodom Will Be Destroyed

And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. Genesis 19:12-13

Steps 11, 12

The decision had been made. God sent the angels, they had experienced Sodom, and the final decision had been made, Sodom must be destroyed. The angels tell Lot to find all of his family and get them out of Sodom. Abraham had extracted a promise from God that if there were ten righteous people in Sodom it would not be destroyed. Lot spoke to his daughters and their husbands and they could not see that destruction was coming and they would not leave. Finally only four people left. God’s awareness was validated. It was time, probation had ended, and destruction was waiting for Lot to get out of the way.

Prayer for Today: Again Lord, You know all things and we don’t. Help us to be able to hear Your voice, and when we hear it to be willing to obey You what ever may be the challenges. Help us to get to know You so well that we will trust Your decisions over our feelings. Thank You again for Your mercies.
