Grace for your spirit January 23, 2012

Grace for your spirit
Suppose there are fifty righteous with the city; will You indeed sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty right who are in it? Genesis 18:24

God had revealed to Abraham that He was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah due to its wickedness. Abraham wanted God to save his nephew Lot and his family, but was afraid to ask. Abraham began bargaining with God to save the city if He could find 50 righteous. The bidding went from 50 down to 10 and failed. God didn't save the city, but He afforded Lot and his family a warning and a chance to get out. I suppose Abraham didn't think God knew what he was thinking while he was bargaining with God. I'm surprise God didn't say to Abraham, "If you want Lot out, just say so!" When we are communicating with God, let's remember that He knows more than our words. He also knows what we are thinking. Let's commit to be honest with ourselves, and honest with God. That's the best way for God to meet our needs.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
