JUAN ALWAYS SAYS…
BE LIKE LOT…NOT LOT’S WIFE!
In the Bible, Lot's wife is a warning to avoid looking back and to remain faithful to God. Her story is a reminder of the dangers of nostalgia and the consequences of divided loyalties.
One reason given in the tradition is that she looked behind her to see if her daughters, married to men of Sodom, were coming or not.
Lot's wife chose rebellion over a life of surrender to God. Her past life seemed to captivate her more than the future God was taking her into.
Why is Lot's wife a warning?
• Nostalgia Lot's wife's choice to look back at Sodom demonstrates the dangers of longing for what we are told to leave behind.
• Attachment Her attachment to her former life caused her to lose her faith and move away from God.
What can we learn from Lot's wife?
• We should avoid looking back and fixating on the past.
• We should focus on eternal life, not earthly comforts.
• We should strive to live a life of faith and obedience to God.
• We should be wary of getting stuck in our emotions,
thoughts, and attachments.
• We should not compromise God's standards to conform to the world.
