Lot's Wife

[Pamela]

On first glance it seems there is little to be said of Lot's wife.
Certainly the Bible has little to say about her, not even a name . And
yet Jesus felt there was something to be learned from her example. He
tells us in Luke "remember Lot's wife." I don't think it is a lesson
just about obedience. Lot's wife couldn't stop herself from looking
back at that sinful city. It seems she was indecisive about leaving
that sin behind. She had become comfortable in that sin. It was what
she familiar with. What was in front of her was new and unknown. When
we decide to live for Christ, we cannot be like Lot's wife. We must
leave our sin behind without so much as a look back. We must keep our
eyes forward on Him. In that one look back, He may return - leaving us
forever frozen in our sin.

This is a scary statement. However frighteningly true, it is
reasonable to believe that when looking back on your past, it is
difficult to move forward. I believe that most people remain where
they are because it becomes comfortable. They know what to expect.
Lot's wife is an excellent example of this. It takes a great leap of
faith to leap into the unknown.
