Six figures cluster in the early dawn just outside Sodom's walls. One of the two angels exhorts the four to escape, not to look behind, not to stay in the valley but flee to the mountains lest they be swept away. Incredibly, rather than running, Lot tries to negotiate a deal. He does not believe that he can obey the angel's command & measures the assignment, not by God's grace, but by his own strength. He requests to have refuge in the nearby town of Bela. His rationale for this request exposes Lot's philosophy of life: "is it not small?" He knows Bela will be spared & the extent of wrath compromised, but compromise is Lot's modus operandi. Why couldn't God compromise too? Astonishingly, permission is granted! Inspite of Lot's sin, he is yet obeying the command to flee, & the Lord proves Himself to be surprisingly patient & gracious. Yet who of us would dare to live like Lot? Sadly, too many of us, I fear.
