DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 15:1-32; Jeremiah 26; Colossians 3:5 to 4:1
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2
Abraham and Lot both entertained angelic visitors. Abraham sought how long they could stay while Lot was concerned about how long they would stay. Abraham’s visit resulted in blessing and communion with the Lord, but Lot’s visit resulted in the destruction of all that he had, even though he himself was spared. It’s time for us to stop entertaining the thought of hospitality and start being hospitable. Invite some visitors home for Sunday dinner. You just might meet a messenger from heaven. —Rex Trogdon
Room for Jesus, King of glory! Hasten now, His Word obey;
Swing the heart’s door widely open, bid Him enter while you may.
