When morning dawned, the angels
urged Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are
here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city."
But he lingered; so the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him forth and set him outside the city. [Genesis 19:15,16]
Lot lingered. He didn't want to leave his familiar environment. Perhaps he didn't really believe that all would be destroyed.
How did God show his mercy? He had the "men" (angels, really) seize the hands of Lot, his wife and his daughters. The men set them outside of the city. Lot needed to be dragged away in order to be saved.
Lord, is there a familiar, yet dangerous place in which I am lingering? If so, please send angels to seize my hand and bring me forth to the place of safety. Amen.
