Remember Lot

Are you like me and at times feel overwhelmed with the violence and destruction in the world? The bad news sweeps over us like a tsunami and we can hardly catch our breath. It can be devastating and render us emotionally limp. We need to take a deep slow breath and remember God is able to sustain us even in the middle of chaos.

If God was able to keep Lot righteous living in a city where homosexuality was the norm, if God was able to keep Noah safe when he ministered to people who skinned their enemies alive, then God is able to sustain us. As Peter puts it, “Then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations…” (2 Peter 2:9).
