Don’t Look Back

“But Lot’s wife looked back as she was following behind him, and she turned into a pillar of salt.”

Genesis 19:26

Looking back can keep you from moving forward. When God delivers you from something, don’t long for what He rescued you from. Your past has been redeemed - don’t return to it. Fix your eyes on the freedom ahead. The future God has for you is far greater than anything He’s asked you to leave behind.

Reflection

What are you still looking back at that God is calling you to leave behind?
