The Scars of Life

Sometimes in our youth we get an injury that produces a scar. Those scars will be there all our lives. In fact, sometimes a scar "grows" right along with our body. That tiny scar from our youth now seems extremely large.

Lot allow himself to be involved with his daughter. This sin produced a scar and although it seems like it was such a small thing it turns into a large problem later for the children of Israel.

One of the dangers was that Lot's daughter reasoned away this sin and being necessary. They concluded it was necessary for the survival of the family line.

Are you willing to reason away sin in your life? Do you understand that sin produces scars, even though it can be forgiven?

Today, consider "Do I want a permanent scar in my life?"

Gen 19:36-38 36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father. 37 The firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day. 38 As for the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day. NASU
