Looking back
This week I was listening to a message and I was reading the verse in Luke 17:32 which simply says " Remember Lot's wife ." This is a really interesting statement. When Jesus tells us to consider something or remember something we should pay attention. So what do we know about Lot's wife? Not a lot really. But what we do know is that an angel of the Lord took her by the hand to lead her out of the city before God destroyed it. She was told to run for her life and not look back. According to Genesis 19, she ran but she turned and look back and as a result, turned to a pillar of salt. This short verse really spoke to me for a number of reasons. The Apostle Paul tells us " I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead. " (Phil 3:13 TPT) Since 2020, it's like we have a new category in history BC now stands for BEFOR...
Abi, thank you for putting a smile on my face and in my heart. Let the JOY of the Lord be our strength and may our mouths be full of laughter and our lips with shouts of JOY. I so appreciate your blog An Untroubled Troubled Heart. I came across your facebook page awhile ago. It's good to worship again with you and John. I think of him always when I see turkeys in the field. 💕
