  • Summary

  • Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾 Genesis 19:1

    Flee from sin as if your life depends on it. Run to Jesus and don’t look back.

    Today’s daily devotional is based on the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19. Lot’s escape highlights God’s mercy and the urgency of fleeing from sin without looking back. This story reminds us to trust in God’s deliverance and turn away from anything that hinders our relationship with Him.
    STORY
    Bible in a Year: Sodom and Gomorrah
    Scripture
    "But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt."

    Genesis 19:26
    All the warning signs are there before you. You know that your sins will wreak havoc on your life if you don’t run from them. Are you willing to flee, or will you cling to your sin and embrace the chaos it brings?

    Genesis 19 tells a harrowing story of Lot's escape from Sodom and Gomorrah, cities notorious for their wickedness. The angels' visit to Lot and the destruction of the cities is a vivid reminder of the destructive nature of sin and the consequences of a life turned away from God.

    It's a stark portrayal of divine judgment, yet we also see a story of mercy and deliverance within it. Lot is warned and given a way of escape, highlighting that even in the wake of judgment, God's grace offers a way out for those willing to take it.

    This story isn't just an ancient account of a bad city. It serves as a personal allegory for our spiritual journey. It's about discerning and fleeing from the "Sodom and Gomorrah’s" in our lives—those habits, relationships, and situations threatening to compromise our integrity and relationship with God.

    The urgency with which Lot is told to flee is the same urgency we must have in distancing ourselves from sin. Flee and don’t turn back! If you do turn back, you risk freezing in place and remaining stagnant in your faith.
    REFLECTION
    Consider what you need to flee from in your life. What are the things holding you back from a full, unencumbered relationship with God? Reflect on the areas in your life that require immediate action. Pray for the strength and courage to not look back, as Lot's wife did, but to move forward towards God's promise and protection.

    PRAYER
    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;
    GENESIS 19:1
    My Lord, thank You for continually showing me grace when I am surrounded and tempted with the pleasures of this world. Thank You for protecting me from myself and from foolish decisions I’ve made when I wasn’t thinking in alignment with Your Word. Help me to move with critical obedience when You give a command. I will no longer hesitate when I know the direction You’re calling me to go, I will no longer look back at my past longing for the things that move me off the path of my destiny. Thank You Lord that when You close one season of my life, like Lot and his family, You will provide a safe space for me and my loved ones to dwell in. I thank You for Your protection, Your justice and Your mercy towards me. I can move in full confidence knowing that You’ve placed Your Angels like a fence around my life. I am protected because I am Yours. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.🙏🏾
