Remember Lot’s wife
On the go, they ran and ran, she didn’t really have time to make a plan
Remember Lot’s wife
Charm is deceitful and she likely had both demands on her worldly appetites kept her in a chokehold
Remember Lot’s wife
A blushing bride, we do not know her history or name, dust to dust ashes to ashes were her claim to fame
Remember Lot’s wife
Lot is called righteous in 2 Peter chapter 2, but Lot’s wife endeavored to dress cuter than you
She had it all (in the world’s eyes) or so it seems, her husband was wealthy and could fulfill her dreams and needs
Remember Lot’s wife
Lusted for Sodom’s door knob, never worked or suffered or had a job; Her joy was not in Yahweh, only her outer adornment and looks unlike bookish Lot praying and studying the Holy Book
He desired to follow in Uncle Abraham’s footsteps
But his wife did not enjoy the lessons she dreamt of where to travel next
Remember Lot’s wife-these three words spoken by Jesus, the next two we all know by heart “Jesus wept”
Remember Lot’s wife, so sound the alarm!
It’s hard to be a woman with life’s endless demands, but Christ says come to me all who labor let Me give you a hand
She left Sodom in a hurry but Gommorah -these twin cities never abandoned her heart
She turned around with longing eyes, city life was her goal from the start
She was living the dream, but that was the problem you see
She put myself “I” and me before the King of Kings and worshipped her own selfish identity
Before we point a finger we should look in the mirror instead, “search my heart oh God examine me” the Psalms of David can be heard and read
Crucify me, help me die to the world!
For I do not want to end up like Lot’s favorite girl
The story gets worse when you read in Genesis, for the sisters learned from mom and her own selfishness.
Again & again I say: Remember Lot’s wife
Remember her and do not turn to the right or to the left, instead focus on Jesus as His way is best
