Day 6

You wouldn’t know by today’s reading that Lot “was a righteous man who was distressed by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day” (2 Peter 2:8).  Peter gives us that insight to Lot’s heart.  Have you ever felt like Lot?  Are you worn down and beyond frustration with the world around you?  Well, if you are, then fear not.  As the verse that serves as our title for today says, the Lord knows how to rescue people.  All hope is not lost because God will have the final say.  
God provided a way of escape for Lot from the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah.  God has also provided a way of escape for you from the wickedness of this world.  Through faith in Jesus Christ, we have the confidence in knowing that we will be with the Father when we die, or even better, when Jesus returns.  So, reader, do not despair, if you have trusted in Christ, your day of escape is coming.  You will only have to endure the wickedness of this world for a short season before you can enjoy eternity with God.
