Devotion:
Read Genesis 18:22-33.
Abraham negotiates with God for mercy on Sodom. Abraham’s first concern was for his nephew Lot, but he had compassion on all the people of Sodom. Abraham appealed to God’s justice. A just and holy God could not destroy righteous believers with the wicked unbelievers. Abraham presented his case in a truly humble manner. He didn’t argue or demand but came humbly to God to save his family and the city. Abraham was sure that there were at least ten believers in the city.
Never underestimate the importance of even a small number of believers. As few as ten people would have saved the entire population from destruction. If Lot had won only his own family to faith in God, judgment would have been averted. Your personal witness is important to God, no matter how insignificant you may feel.
Personal Worship Option:
You can make a difference! Do you need to make a stand against evil or be a voice for righteousness? Brainstorm with a friend how you can make a difference.
