Day 11: Loving and Patient


Luke 10:21-42; Genesis 18:16-Genesis 19; Psalm 11


The good Samaritan is such a great story displaying that it isn’t where you come from or your job that makes a person significant—according to Jesus, it is the love a person has for others.

Abraham’s ability to change God's mind about destroying the city based on 10 people demonstrates how loving and patient God is.  The Lord knew where Abraham was going with this discussion and God agreed that it would be bad to punish the good for the deeds of the wicked.  For only a few, The Lord would save the city.  Every soul matters, even today, in this world.  I pray that The Lord would fill our hearts with love for each and every person.  No matter what, there will be evil people who try to hurt the good.  That is a reality of the broken world we live in, but we need to have faith and trust that God will protect and save those who seek salvation from their sin.
