FAITH CAPSULE: Trust and hope for the extension of the hand of God for your deliverance from destruction.

Genesis 19

At the time of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah because of wickedness, two angels came to the land. Lot saw the angels and decided to host the angels overnight. As a result of hosting the angels, he struggled with the wicked ones of the land that wanted to know the angels carnally.
Wicked of Sodom and Gomorrah persisted with the attempt to break into the house of Lot.
The angels reacted to pull Lot into the house from the hands of the wicked ones. The bible record the scene between Lot, the wicked ones, and the two angels: “And they said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot and came near to break down the door. But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great so that they became weary trying to find the door.” (Genesis 19:9-11)
The hand of God delivered Lot from the destruction of the wickedness of the land. Today, ask that the hand of God will continually locate you from every form of destruction that persists.
Genesis 19:15-16 records how Lot was brought out to safety from destruction, “When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, “Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.” And while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.
Ask God for increased mercy that will continually pull you out from where lingering is holding you down for inevitable destruction. 
This year, plead that the increased mercy of God will deny your inconsistent way of life.
God is a living God and a merciful God with a hand that is not short to deliver. 
Trust and hope for the same hand of God that delivered the children of Israel from the bondage of over four hundred years in Egypt will not elude you. 
The wickedness against the life of Lot became blinded. Blindness is what will make wicked agency weary and unable to locate you. 
Ask for the hand of God that answered for Lot.
Devote to your desire for God, and God will not deny you. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the hand of God to become established over your life for deliverance and preservation in this wicked world.
