Don't Hesitate

In Gen. 19 two angels came to destroy the city Lot lived in. They told lot to flee.

16 When he (Lot) hesitated, the men (2 angels) grasped his hand
and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of
the city, for the LORD was merciful to them.


If God sends someone my way and gives me instructions from Him, I don't want to hesitate, but, what a merciful God that he would realize that sometimes we just need someone to grab our hand and get us going.

I hate to admit it, but I've been hesitating way too long on the need to exercise my heart; I guess I need someone to grab my hand and make me get going too.

The Wisdom

Paul tells Timothy to "continue on", reassuring him that "he knows the truth and that the scripture (The Word of God) is where we can find the wisdom that leads to salvation and that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ.

2 Tim 3:14-15
You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced
of, knowing from whom you have learned them; and that from childhood you have
known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to
salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

A New Day

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end,
They are new every morning,
Great is thy faithfulness!
