God had promised Abraham not to destroy Sodom if He found at least ten righteous people there. Angels came, leading only a few of Abraham’s family members out of the city before its destruction. God revealed to Isaac’s wife that the firstborn of their twins (Esau) would serve the younger (Jacob)—not the usual way of things, and she got actively involved. Jesus could seem harsh at times as He said what people needed to hear. When we feel swamped by fears or worries, does our desire for God’s intervention ignore His desire to help us do our part?
