I read the bible with B every night. We are in Genesis. Jehovah's angels told Lot to leave Sodom and Gomorrah and flee to the mountainous region. Lot is afraid to go there, so he asks to go to Zoar. So, as you know, Jehovah says, "Okay. "
I have never noticed this before, but Lot is in Zoar and is afraid to stay there, so guess what? He moves to the mountainous region -the very place Jehovah tried to send him to begin with.
There is the huge obvious lesson in there for me, for anyone - Jehovah really does know best, so listen to him the first time. Hmm.
I told Shonda the above, and I thought her reply was very insightful:
"Not always easy to implement.....it is interesting that a person with a good heart will eventually do what Jehovah suggests/asks, which is good. But, weakness can cause the road to be longer more difficult. Being able to develop our faith to the point of complete trust makes such a difference in our lives I think."
