When I picture Abraham standing and talking to the Lord, I wonder if he is counting Lot's family in his mind? Wouldn't he think to bring them back to him and destroy the cities as was the final outcome? As it was there were not even 10! And even after their salvation, had not Lot told his daughters how close their kinsmen were? When Abraham looked and saw the cities burning, did he wonder if "there were none righteous, no not one?" such great description in this narrative and so few answers.
Abraham asks the question, would the righteous be destroyed with the unrighteous? The righteous will live with the unrighteous until that day, with the possibility that they won't be destroyed. The fields are white unto harvest!
I think I will try setting the Proverbs reading to memory: For the Lord gives Wisdom...

As I enjoy the smell of spiral ham warming in the oven and anticipate a pleasant
evening at church fellowship dinner in a little less than an hour, I thought I
would share some thoughts from today's reading. I will try to do this often.
I found that two people were presented in the Old and New Testament readings
were ordained to bring relief. Noah's name, in vs 29, means: this one shall
bring us relief. And of course Christ, in whom His father is well pleased, will
bring salvation to the world in a short 3 years past the present narrative.
Noah was 600 before his name will have literal meaning. Christ was 30 years in
spiritual and physical growth and preparation.
We need to grasp every moment to become prepared for whatever God has in store
for our future. Whether that time is tomorrow, next year or in 20 years. We
need that time to be ready.
Just a short note.
You can post a note with your thoughts to help your fellow readers glean the
most from our daily readings.
Just 362 more days to go!!

Starting a new year with a new Bible reading program. I'm joining the ladies of Arizona Women's Ministry, Advance 2010, using a reading plan mixing New and Old Testaments as well as Psalms and Proverbs.

http://www.oneyearbibleblog.com/2009/12/january-1st-one-year-bible-readings.html

this is a blog with some commentary, but not too much to bog down the daily plan. The other place I like to read from is

Every Day in the Word it has the scriptures as well as an audio option.

So here's to 363 more days of success.
