Genesis 19: 18-20, 22: "Then Lot said to them, 'Please, no my lords! Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest some evil overtake me and I die. See now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one'..., the city was called Zoar." To set the scene, Lot and his family have been escorted out of Sodom. Fire and brimstone is about to be released to destroy all the inhabitants. The angels want Lot to escape to the mountains, but Lot wants to stop at a small place named Zoar. Zoar means literally :smallness." That's the way we sometimes live. God wants us to go to the top but we may want to settle for something small because it is easier. Today, don't be afraid to allow God to take you to the mountaintop! Don't settle for smallness.
