FAITH CAPSULE: Be in the right place to gain deliverance and preservation.

Genesis 19

Are you paying attention to the time you are living? 
Where you are when deliverance comes to look for you will determine your salvation. 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 God at where you are and how you are is evidence of spiritual sensitivity. 
God decided the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah because of sin and iniquity. God visited Abraham to reveal His move to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Genesis 18:20-21 record “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.”  God is with inestimable mercy, will not overlook sin but will make a way out for the righteous ones in the time of judgment.
Why not engage repentance before God for your deliverance and preservation?
Sodom and Gomorrah were to experience destruction because of sin and iniquity before God, but Lot was delivered. Lot, could not miss his deliverance because he was in the right location at the right time. 
In life, one can 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 become connected with the agent of God for his deliverance plan. Lot was not in an unusual location but at the right place. Genesis 19:1 records, “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.”  
Lot saw angels, and he welcomed them by rising to meet them. 
Lot also bowed himself to acknowledge them. 
Rising and worshiping when your deliverance comes knocking is with an understanding of favor and the salvation plan of God.
The Psalmist understands and knows to ask from God, “Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation” (Psalm 106:4)
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 was awake, could have slept, and missed his deliverance. 
Today, as was in the past, the sinful world demands awaken spiritually and physically.
Among the wicked people, in the land of Sodom and Gomorrah,
Lot was in a position to receive deliverance because of the inestimable mercy of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that you will not miss out on the inestimable mercy of God.
