DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 24; Job 29-30; Matt. 13:1-23
And [God] said, I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake. Genesis 18:32
And Abraham got up early in the morning … and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah. Genesis 19:27-28
Abraham implored the Lord to spare Sodom for his nephew Lot’s sake. God told Abraham He would spare the city if He found ten righteous people there. What must Abraham have thought when he beheld the smoke of that destroyed city? He could not have known the great effort and care God took to deliver Lot from judgement. It is not recorded that Abraham ever saw Lot again; yet he continued to trust God. May we likewise walk in faith. —D. Pickup
Have faith in God; He’s on the throne.
Have faith in God; He watches o’er His own.
He cannot fail! He must prevail! —B. B. McKinney
