"Don’t look back …!" — Genesis 19:17
Here is a lesson on value. Lot misjudged value. He didn’t understand the value of real estate — he pitched his tent toward Sodom. He didn’t understand value in people — when he tried to reason with the young men he had chosen to marry his daughters, they thought he was joking. Now he was given a final choice: the mountains or Sodom.
Lot still struggled with this. He couldn’t see that camping out with God was far better than sharing the finest hotel with the devil.
Even in warnings, even in crises, God is teaching, guiding and holding out hope for His children. Lot lost much, but God was at work to ensure that he kept what was most important.
If the Lord is trimming the world out of your life, don’t look back. What lies ahead is better; God will give you the best.
