"…he hesitated…" Genesis 19:16
Lot. The destruction of Sodom was imminent. His instructions were clear.
Save yourself. Save your family. Flee.
But he hesitated.
Why?
Maybe he felt conviction. Why should he escape when everyone else faced judgment?
Maybe he didn't feel worthy. How could God spare him?
Maybe it was too much to believe. Did God really mean the things He said?
I've hesitated. Even when the direction was clear. I've staggered at the promises of God rather than move forward.
"…the compassion of the Lord was upon him..." Genesis 19:16
And on me.
In spite of my hesitation, God put me where He wants me.
He chose me. He declared me worthy. He kept His word.
