The Wonder of Waiting

b. Instant gratification vs. his timing

2. He is gracious despite the circumstances (21:8-13)
a. Provides a way to resolve Abraham’s family conflict
b. Grace comes from through despite human conflict and sin

3. He will be with us (221:14-21)
a. Despite being cast out, God cares for the abused and neglected
b. Jesus promises to be with his people to the end of the ages (Matt. 28:16-20)

Will we be patient for his timing?

How shall we then live?

1. The Direction of Lot’s Life

There is a progression from Chapter 13-19: Lot was in the city. Then the city was in Lot.

You cannot aim for the best of both worlds (see Psalm 1:1-2)

In the end, you will become either a person OF the city or a person FOR the city

2.The Destruction of Lot’s Life

He lost his way
He lost his family

Conclusion “Remember Lot’s wife” (John 17:28-33)

In the end, what you and I need is to know and experience God’s love.

We need to know and experience this deep and rich love because that is what will expels out the love for the things of this world.

God’s love is working in ways you may not understand until years later or even beyond your lifetime.
