27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
Here it is! Lot was not saved because he was righteous in God's eyes.
After all, Lot CHOSE to live in the squallor of those cities, amongst the evil that surrounded him.
He was saved from destruction because Abraham had asked to have him spared.
God knew Abraham's heart. And, when God has a good relationship with you, He will protect not only YOU, but those who mean the most to you.
When God sets you aside for service, He not only sets YOU aside, but all those who are closest to you.
Please remember to pray for those in your circle. Remind God that, just as He wants to protect you, you want others protected as well!
God will listen with His heart, as He asks you to do, also!
Abraham had no idea if Lot was saved. He saw the destruction. For all he knew, Lot could be among the destruction.
But, God heard. God knew. And, so did Lot. He was alive! And all because Abraham had faith, loved God, and prayed!
