He [Abraham] looked out across the plain toward Sodom and Gomorrah and watched as columns of smoke rose from the cities like smoke from a furnace. But God had listened to Abraham’s request and kept Lot safe, removing him from the disaster that engulfed the cities on the plain.

Today's Prayer

Lord, Thank You for revealing how Abraham’s faith and prayers saved his nephew Lot. Thank You for reminding me that disobedience and sin will ultimately lead to death and destruction. Help me to have faith for others until they can develop their own faith. Help me to be diligent in prayer for them until they become diligent in prayer for themselves and their own families. Give me strength and wisdom to help save others like Abraham did. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
