New Beginnings, Day 19

Reluctant new beginnings. Read Genesis chapter 19.

We got a sneak peek as to what was going to happen today from yesterday’s chapter. Destruction and judgment is coming. God is going to judge the people and apparently, he couldn’t find even 10 righteous men. He still was willing to save Lot because of Abraham. Unfortunately, Lot didn’t really want to be saved.

Sometimes when God brings about a new beginning, we are reluctant and drag our feet. We don’t want to go. We don’t want to leave what has been comfortable. Sometimes, like Lot, God has to grab us by the hand and drag us toward the goal that he has for us.

When we look at where we are headed today, are we walking in the path that God has for us or is he dragging us down the path that he has for us? Our obedience to him is so vitally important but it’s equally important to understand that God’s will and purpose will be accomplished. We just won’t receive the benefits that we would have if we had walked that path instead of being dragged down the path. Are we walking the path of our new beginnings today?
