Lot Flees to Zoar
12Then the two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—a son-in-law, your sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, 13because we are about to destroy this place. For the outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that He has sent us to destroy it.”
14So Lot went out and spoke to the sons-in-law who were pledged in marriage to his daughters. “Get up,” he said. “Get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.
15At daybreak the angels hurried Lot along, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.” 16But when Lot hesitated, the men grabbed his hand and the hands of his wife and his two daughters. And they led them safely out of the city, because of the LORD’s compassion for them.
“But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.” Not for long....I wonder what they thought when the fire and brimstone started?
“But when Lot hesitated”.... would you hesitate?
Lot, his wife and two daughters had to be grabbed by their hands and led out of the city!
There are times in our lives that we hesitate like Lot from doing what is right, from what the Lord expects from us, but remember that the Lord has compassion for us also. So much compassion that He sent His Son to die on the cross for our sins.
We have a compassionate God!
Blessings, David
