“LOT’S WIFE!”

 Genesis 19:26                    (ESV)

“[26] But “LOT’S WIFE”, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.”

Luke 17:32                    (ESV)

“[32] Remember “LOT’S WIFE”.”

It is so very important that we are aware that THE CREATOR HIMSELF was trying to make a point to we who would HEAR HIS WORD!  Luke 17:31 says “On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, NOT COME DOWN to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field NOT TURN BACK.” 

“LOT’S WIFE” became a “pillar of salt” because of the love she had for “this world”!  It cost her EVERYTHING!  She never made it out of the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorra.  Instead she was “memorialized” by her CREATOR as EVIDENCE of what selfish behavior will bring to those who cherish it before their LOVE for HIM!!

Our CREATOR was instructing HIS Disciples to “Remember “LOT’S WIFE”, not to fully make her an example, but I BELIEVE to remind us that our attention and focus should ALWAYS be on HIM, and NOT the things of “this world”!  “LOT’S WIFE” is the example that we need to REMEMBER!!!!
