A Tension in Scripture

The Thing I Keep Putting Off

Biblical Echoes

Different stories. Same struggle.

Lot

A warning, not a model

Lingering in Sodom until the angels took him by the hand.

Genesis 19:15-22

Read Genesis 19:15-22

Questions

  • Why is a small thing easier to put off than a large one?
  • What becomes hard when the delay itself is the danger?

Common Thread

Many stories begin with the same fear.

The Mirror

  • What have you been putting off, and for how long?
  • What does each day of delay feel like it is protecting you from?
  • Who might have to take you by the hand if you do not move?

This struggle appears throughout the biblical story.
