“Don’t Look Back…”

“But his wife looked back from behind him and became a pillar of salt.” Genesis 19:26

What a sad scripture… The Lord had told Lot to get his whole family out of Sodom and Gomorrah because He was going to destroy it by fire. The only commandment the Lord had told Lot was that “no one was to look back.” You know the story, Lot’s wife became a “pillar of salt.” She could not give up the “low-life of Satan,” for the Blessings of the Lord. She had to have “one last look.”

Jesus came and said, “No man having put his hand to the plow, and “looking back,” is fit for the Kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

That “last look back” on things you have given up, may cost you the great blessings that lay before you. It is hard to find missionaries to come to the mission field, nowadays. They come and they just have to have “one last look at what they left behind,” that boyfriend, that job, that way of life… they come and go. The same is true for all our lives. We can never, never “look back again.” When God has brought you out of that relationship, that marriage, that job, that situation, “don’t even think about it!” Don’t look back! Your future is before you! Blessings!
