Daily Guide 17 May 2022 | Scripture Union Devotional
Like his uncle Abraham, Lot warmly welcomed the two angels to his house (vs.1–3). The news God heard about the city was proved true as life there had become so unimaginably wicked. Both old and young men in Sodom were involved in homosexual practices openly and without any shame (vs.4–5; See Romans 1:27). In our world today, many nations have legalised similar practices.
They are seen as human rights issue. Even many Churches have legitimised same‐sex marriages for members as well as ministers! It must be noted that God’s righteous standard with regards to all such practices will never change. Read 1 Corinthians 6:9‐10; Galatians 5:19‐20; Ephesians 5:3‐6; Revelation 22:15 and note 2 Timothy 2:19. What do you think about Lot’s actions in vs.6–8?
Lot’s daughters kept their virginity in such a decayed society even when they are already engaged (vs.8,14). What a challenge! When we desire to do what is right in times of temptation or trial, God graciously provides a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). Notice what God did in this instance (vs.10–11).
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
• Father, help me to shine as light in this crooked and perverse generation.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with
Psalms 29:11; 1Samuel 29‐31, Matthew 13
