Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

January 18

Genesis 19-21
As I read the account of Lot's daughters getting pregnant by their father, and the revelation that Sarah is Abraham's half-sister, it is apparent that God overlooked incest.  I can't help but wonder why?  There doesn't seem to be a shortage of people.  So, I don't really understand the necessity.  Therefore, I must chalk it up to God's sovereignty.  He will do as He wills, and I trust that what He does and what he allows to be done is right and good.  After all, it is God who defines right and good!  I praise you, Lord, for your sovereignty and grace!
