Lot Lived In An Sinful Surrounding, Yet Overcame With God

2 Peter 2:6-9
6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; 7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked 8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— 9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment


God knows how to encourage and lift up His righteous people out of temptation. He will never leave them nor forsake them, but will allow them to overcome. Lot was one of those people that God was with. Even living in a filthy and sinful place, we was able to be holy and live righteously for God.

It is such a testament to know that Lot was able to do what he did. He overcame the sin of that place he was in, and to keep to living a righteous life for Christ. I, too, must continue to live righteously for my God, even when there are so many temptations and the media and culture is so evil. Lot was an example that God may give to us.

Father God, I pray for your words that it speak life into me. I thank you for your servant Lot, that he was able to overcome. I pray that You be with me so that I may also overcome, that I may life a righteous life that You have called for me. I pray for Your strength, and I thank you so much. I give you all the glory in Jesus name.
Amen.
