No turning back....!

Genesis 19:17,26 NKJV

So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.” But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

† Shalom †......! Day #209. Do you know that when you look back at your past, you would eventually have the desire to return to the ways of your past? Let us pray. Father, we have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back Lord for You're the only One we could live for. The cross is before us and the world is behind us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, Lot was good, but there was not one more of the same character in the city. All the people of Sodom were very wicked and vile. Care was therefore taken for saving Lot and his family. Lot lingered; he trifled. Thus many who are under convictions about their spiritual state, and the necessity of a change, defer that needful work. The salvation of the most righteous men is of God's mercy, not by their own merit. We are saved by grace. God's power also must be acknowledged in bringing souls out of a sinful state If God had not been merciful to us, our lingering had been our ruin. Lot must flee for his life. He must not hanker after Sodom. Such commands as these are given to those who, through grace, are delivered out of a sinful state and condition.

Return not to sin and Satan. Rest not in self and the world. Reach toward Christ and heaven, for that is escaping to the mountain, short of which we must not stop. Concerning this destruction, observe that it is a revelation of the wrath of God against sin and sinners of all ages. Let us learn from hence the evil of sin, and its hurtful nature; it leads to ruin. Looking back and returning back to our past ways and life is like a dog returns to its vomit. If you have made your decision to follow Jesus, there's no U turn,  there's no turning back. Pursue the Cross and let the world be behind you. God bless you.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
