HIGHER GROUND
Today's reading: Genesis 18-20

"Run for your lives! the angels warned. Do not stop anywhere in the valley. And don't look back! Escape to the mountains, or you will die." Genesis 19:17 NLT

God's messengers were sent to rescue Lot and his family from the destruction of Sodom.

The message was clear, Go higher!

Lot wasn't advised to settle.

To take the easy way.

To go the safest route.

Lot was asked to go for higher ground. Even in this crisis situation.

Higher standards.

The higher road.

Higher expectations.

Higher goals.

God doesn't ask us, His people, to just get by. Or to just do the minimum. Or to just do the best we can.

He asks us to take the higher, better, godlier way in all instances.

Because that's where He wants us to meet Him.
