January 6 "Stiff-armed" Genesis 19-21
Lot was way too kind to angels yet offered his daughter to the care of mongrels. Gen 19:3. Kind to strangers yet distant at home.
Lot had become very comfortable with the sinful culture around him until his neighbors wanted the angels. His response to offer his daughters in terrifying. As Lot and his family made their escape, his wife turns back to gaze. Her heart was at home not with God. Sometimes we long for something that is not God's way or best for us, just as Lot's wife did, just as the Israelites did when they thought about the food and all they had in Egypt - forgetting they were slaves.
