Two Angels Check Out Sodom

And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. Genesis 19:1-3

Steps 1,2,3,11,12

Lot welcomed two strange men into his home not knowing that these two men were angels, and he did not know that they had come to pass judgment on Sodom. Lot wanted to be sure that these men did not stay on the street for if the did they would be attacked by the men of Sodom. He did all that he could to help them, protect them, and feed them. By this act Lot sealed his probation and was considered a righteous person by God. Hebrews 13:1-2; II Peter 2:7-8

Prayer for Today: God, for us it is strange for us to do things for other people. Yet You have chosen to help us to reach out to others and to help them. We pray today that You will continue to help us be interested in helping others as we are interested in getting help for ourselves. We need You to help us with our selfishness for it is the root of all of our addictions. Guide and keep us and help us to be like You.
