“As soon as the angels got them outside, one of them said, “Run for your lives! Don’t look back and don’t stop anywhere on the plain! Run to the mountains, or you will be swept away! ” But Lot’s wife looked back and became a pillar of salt.”
Genesis 19:17, 26 CSB
Obeying God seems very straightforward…but that does not mean it always makes sense, nor is it easy. I know that I am very familiar with what sin is and what God is calling me to do, yet sometimes I treat these commands as recommendations…guidelines or very flexible suggestions. I occasionally choose sin, choose to ignore what I know is right…just like Lot’s wife.
Lord, I want to follow You in every detail of my life. I don’t want to pretend your commands are suggestions but want to obey Your every word! Strengthen me to consider obedience in everything a life or death decision and strengthen my by Your Spirit to choose to follow You!
Thank You also, for Your mercy. You are so patient and kind and I do not deserve any of it. Keep my mind and heart filled with thankfulness to You!!!
