Don't Look Back!!
Don't look back...
Genesis 19:17
When God tells us to go, we must obey HIM, and step out of our comfort zone. It says that Lot's wife Sarah looked back at Sodom and Gomorrah and turned into a pillar of salt. Did you ever wonder what was going on in her mind to cause her to look back when GOD told them not to look back. Her heart was not willing to let go and step forward, but her decision reversed the course of her life, she lost it! Plus, she was being disobedient by looking back to what where they were at before GOD spoke to them!
Have you ever grumbled and complained to GOD that life is just too hard? Just like the Israelites in the wilderness when they grumbled to Moses. GOD took them out of intense slavery, but they whined and complained and "wished" they could go back in their hearts. God was not pleased with them at all! So, what makes us think HE is pleased with us, when we walk away from, when HE has clearly told us to "Not look back?" I wonder if Lot's wife was saying this is way too hard and steep a climb to make it! I think she was intending to turn around and go back!! That exact thought caused her to lose her life...just because it seemed too hard!!
This nation is in bad times that is for sure. Immorality is all around us, and at an all-time high. If the sovereign GOD sends you a warning to go and not look back from where you were, are you going to be tempted to hit reverse? I would not advise you to do that. Stay obedient and stick with the course that GOD has laid out for you. That pivotal decision will cost you your very life!!
It is really good to know the voice of GOD in your life and heed what HE tells you. Do not be tempted to go against what HE has told you. HE is not going to lead you down a wrong path. If you are wondering about that, maybe it is time to reevaluate where you are at in life...and move accordingly forward into His will. You could be going in a reverse direction from what GOD has intended for you. It will not be easy to follow GOD and not look back, but I am here to tell you, it will be worth it in the long run. Make up your mind and do it!!
I do not know why or who I am writing to, but you know...My prayer is that GOD will speak to you right now who are reading this, and let GOD move you out of that place of sin into the place that HE has destined for you to walk, MY prayer is that You will not be like Sarah and think it is too difficult and look back, in Jesus name, AMEN.
Wise words.
