Episode 50: Do Not Look Back
from Eat This Book! Hosted by Michael Whitworth
"Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley." The command was clear. But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Why did she look? The text doesn't say. Longing for what she left? Disbelief that it was really over? Curiosity? Whatever the reason, the look was fatal. Jesus will later say, "Remember Lot's wife." You cannot walk toward salvation while looking back at destruction. Some things need to be left behind completely. The backward glance reveals a divided heart. She was out of Sodom, but Sodom wasn't out of her. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit start2finish.substack.com
