I just saw something that Lot said to the angels God sent to Sodom, “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning." Why was Lot so interested in sending these ones on their way? We don't know the answer but truly he was concerned for their safety. This shows that Lot still had compassion for others, later when he agreed to leave he also showed faith. Unfortunately, the rest of the chapter shows a Lot who wasn't believed by those he tried to warn, who was slow leaving, questioned God's directions, left the village in fear that he asked God to save, and got so drunk he didn't realize that his daughters had sex with him.
One could criticize all of these things but yet there was something in Lot that God saw worthy of saving. May God also have mercy on us in our Lot moments.
