My prayer today is that I would be one of the 10 righteous individuals God was looking for in our modern Sodom. God promised Abraham if he could find 10 righteous people he would spare the city. I know that this is not Sodom. I am certainly not Abraham. And yet I somehow feel the principal is the same. I believe that if there are enough righteous in America, God will spare us.
Let me be one. I don’t know what the number would be for us today but I sure could use as many on the team as possible. There are no tryouts like in Little League. There are no essay questions. It is just a matter of trusting in Jesus and living the life He wants us to live.

Sign me up! .And let me say that on my own, there's not a chance I'd be one of the righteous, but thankfully He sent the Holy Spirit to poke me when I mess up, and forgives me.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nuance that many don't seem to get or don't want to get. It is true we are lost on our own but we have the promise of the paraclete. We are expected to live up to the level He makes possible.
ReplyDeleteMuch to rejoice about.
Grace and peace
