Genesis 19:24 - 29
Then the Lord rained down burning sulphur on Sodom and Gomorrah - from the Lord out of the heavens.
Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities - and also the vegetation in
the land.
26 But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord.
28 He looked down towards Sodom and Gomorrah, towards all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.

For Thought
How do God's true servants react in times of emergency or great crisis? They react, as did Abraham, by turning to God in fervent, believing
prayer. Lifes' best outlook is a prayerful uplook!
Contemplation
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we
know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him."
