FAITH CAPSULE: In this wicked of today, focus on God to be in position for God’s inestimable mercy for constant deliverance and preservation.

Genesis 19

Are you conscious of your location in these days of wickedness? Are you paying attention to the time you are living? Where you are when deliverance comes to look for you will determine how you will be saved. It is one thing to be at the right place and at the right time; it is another to be able to identify that your deliverance is at hand. Rising and worshiping is an evidence of spiritual sensitivity.
When Sodom and Gomorrah was set to be destroyed because of sin and iniquity, God could not keep His plan away from Abraham but visited him and said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.” (Genesis 18:20-21) God in His inestimable mercy will not overlook sin but will make a way out for the righteous ones in the time of judgment.
Sodom was set to be destroyed and Lot was destined to be delivered. Lot could not miss his deliverance because he was in the right location at the right time. In life, it is not impossible for one to suffer from sudden and untimely destruction when one fails to be in the right location and at the right time. When the two angels sent by God came to Sodom, Lot was at the right place to be connected with God’s agent for his deliverance plan. Lot was not in an unusual location but at the right location. It is written, “Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and bowed himself with his face toward the ground.” (Genesis 19:1)
Lot saw them (angels) and rose to meet them. Lot also bowed himself to acknowledge them. Rising and worshiping when your deliverance comes knocking is important. Let every moment of your life be in focus for the hand of God to deliver when deliverance matters. How often have you seen people at the park or gate fall asleep? Lot could have slept and missed his deliverance. Because of the days in which we are living, and the depth of the sinful world, it is crucial for us to be constantly awake both in the spirit and the physical. Among the wicked people, in the land that was full of wickedness, Lot was in position to receive deliverance because of inestimable mercy of God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of inestimable mercy of God upon your life in this wicked times of man.
