From my Journal
Sometimes I think that God is hard to understand. I read today about His promise and His mercy towards Abraham but at the same time interweaved in to that story was the destruction of 2 nations, 2 nations that were so ridden with sin that there were not even 10 found righteous among them (for otherwise God would have spared them per His promise to Abraham). This destruction it seems was warranted by God, but there in the middle of this destruction Lot’s wife was turned in to a pillar of salt for simply looking back (now she and the rest of her family were told to run and not look back) nevertheless this makes we wonder how God operates. Is His justice and wrath still the same today as it was then? (If it is, destruction could be heading our way). God was faithful to His word to not look back and faithful to Abraham who was provided a son in his old age. I am glad that God is faithful to His promises and I pray that I would be faithful to His word so that I can know an take part in these promises. I am not sure if God expresses His wrath in the same way today (by the way I know that God is unchanging) but I do know that He expresses His promises differently. God may not speak to me the way that He spoke to Abraham and Lot but when I am faithful to His Word He will speak to me through it and help me to understand His nature and character more. God help me to be faithful to Your Word and help me to understand You more and more, reveal to me the promises You have for my life and give me faith to believe in You as Abraham believed in You and it was credited to him as righteousness.
