Remember Lot’s wife. Luke 17:32

SHE received the angels, and hospitably entertained them, she believed their message, and prepared to act upon it: she obeyed their command, and left Sodom and her children behind her. She forsook the ungodly, and went in company with the saints; yet her heart was left in the city, and she looked back. She was deprived of life, for too highly prizing its comforts. She was cut off by a visible display of God’s judgment. The situation in which she died was instructive: it was not in Sodom, but on the plain; she escaped one judgment, but was overtaken by another. She was left as sad example of God’s jealousy, and displeasure against sin. Here is a warning to the covetous, whose hearts are set on things below; to the self-willed, who trifle with God’s commands; and to the undecided, who stand between Sodom and Zoar. God will be honoured by our obedience, or by our sufferings. It is dangerous to trifle with the smallest of God’s commands. We may overcome one temptation, and yet fall by another. Let us examine, are our hearts detached from the world? Be not high-minded, but fear. Remember Lot’s wife.

Waiting for our Lord’s returning,

Be it ours His word to keep;

Let our lamps be always burning;

Let us watch, while others sleep;

We’re no longer of the night;

We are children of the light.
