The Danger of Looking Back
In our journey of faith, we often face the temptation to look back at our past. Just as Lot’s wife looked back at the city of Sodom, we can find ourselves longing for old habits, relationships, or comforts that no longer serve us. The story of Lot’s wife reminds us that when we choose to follow God, we must keep our eyes forward, focusing on His promises and the new path laid before us. Looking back can hinder our spiritual growth and lead us to regret or disobedience. Therefore, we should remind ourselves to trust in God’s plan and to move ahead with courage and faith.
