Promise 48 Gen. 19:15-16

Gen. 19:15-16 - "When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot saying, "Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city." But he hesitated. So the men seized his hand and the hand of his wife and the hands of his two daughters, for the compassion of the Lord was upon him; and they brought him out, and put him outside the city." I just love this! The angels of the Lord warned Lot what would happen to the city and that He should get away with his family. I don't know if it was fear, or doubt or sadness for his daughters, because the future son-in-laws wouldn't join them, maybe he wanted to try to persuade them to come with them, but he hesitated. The angels could have just left the whole lot (ok... pun intended) but they didn't, they grabbed him and his family and led them out of the city. No matter if it was fear or stubbornness or doubt that caused Lot to hesitate, because of God's compassion for them, He took them by the hand and lead them to safety. We often times find ourselves in positions that require action, a step of faith. I think it's our nature to hesitate, to question and even to fear stepping into the unknown, but our great compassionate God is right there to take us by the hand and to lead us to where we need to go. Have no fear, He is here, can you feel His hand? Just grab it!
