This devotional emphasizes the themes of grace, redemption, and divine purpose, using the biblical story of Peter as a central example. The speaker begins by encouraging listeners to verify the biblical references for themselves and underscores the importance of God's grace, as illustrated in Julia H. Johnson's hymn 'Grace Greater Than Our Sin.' The narrative then transitions to Peter's journey from denying Christ to becoming a pivotal figure at Pentecost, where he leads 3,000 people to Christ. The speaker reflects on Peter's initial return to fishing after Jesus' crucifixion, a metaphor for returning to old ways, and how Jesus refocused Peter on his mission to 'fish for men,' leading to his transformative role at Pentecost. The devotional concludes with a prayer for guidance and a call to share the message of hope and purpose, echoing Peter's experience of redemption and calling.

Why do you work? I've heard many answers to this question. Some work to pay bills, including food, clothing, shelter, utilities, mortgage, car loans, credit cards, and many other expenses.
At times the bills seem to tie us up so that we cannot make drastic changes to our living situations. Getting up and leaving becomes difficult. Lot too became tied down to the life he had in Sodom and this episode explains more of this.
Lot's conscience became seared, and we should not let sin and riches change the way we see Christ according to 1 Timothy 4:2.
We need to be aware that judgment is coming upon this world, just as it came upon Sodom as referred to in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9. However, God made provision for us to avoid this judgment and tells us about it in John 3:16. Trust Jesus as your savior today, while it is still possible.
