Significance of Lot
We are at the time where we must take heed from the story of Lot. The critical part of the story of Lot fleeing from Sodom and Gomorrah was to not look back. Many of us are moving towards a new paradigm that is drastically different from what current societal norms are. We are a wild bunch of ‘mad social scientists’ that are doing things like building hexayurts or reading about sustainable energy or herbal remedies. We are downsizing and getting tough. But the temptation to look back is great. The temptations to look at the nice houses and shiny cars and the lifestyles that go along easily with that picture. I am often tempted to look back and wish for the days of ultra plush carpet and way too many square feet. And this morning it dawned on me that we are coming to a time where we will not be given the luxury to look back. We must be focused with laser precision on the things that God has and will tell us to do. We must not for an instant stop to look back. Our looking back will be equivalent to Lot’s wife…she never made it to safety.
Maybe this will be an important reminder for you, like it was for me. Don’t look back, only move forward.
