When the two angels who had been assigned to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah led Lot’s family out of the city, they gave them specific instructions. Although the angels were interested in rescuing Lot and his family, there was a limit to what they could do for them. For instance, the angels were able to take Lot’s wife out of Sodom. But they couldn’t stop her from going against their instruction. In other words, the angels couldn’t control her willpower. For the rescue mission to be successful, Lot’s family had their own role to play.
Many believers are ignorant of the power they have over their destinies. The angels had said to Lot’s family, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!”. Based on their instructions, Lot and his family had to choose, whether to run or be swept away by the fire. Even though, God plans to take you to another level, you would have to play your own part. Perhaps, what you need to do at this point of your life is to simply obey God. Do what God is asking you to do.
Prayer/Confession: Dear Lord, I am willing to do whatever You want me to do. Amen.
