After the angels warned of Sodom’s impending destruction, Lot lingered instead of hastily leaving with his family. The angels physically took the hand of Lot’s famiily and brought them out of the city because of the Lord’s mercy. Lingering almost cost Lot his life. Do you know that sin is just as rampant today? Angels may not be sent to warn us to flee from its presence, but God’s Word speaks just as clearly: “Do not love the world or anything in the world” (1 John 2:15, NIV); “Flee from youthful lusts” (2 Timothy 2:22); “Abstain from every form of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:22). Learn from Lot and linger not.
