A pillar of salt

“But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.”

Lot’s wife didn’t just glance back at Sodom, her heart was still there and see stood and looked back with longing because she still wanted to be in that city. While she stood and gazed longingly at the place she loved she was caught up in the fire and brimstone raining down on Sodom and turned into a pillar of salt. Too often we long to be where our heart is rather than following the Lord. The Lord Jesus Christ encouraged us to to deny ourselves, take up our crosses daily and follow Him (Luke 9: 23). However, our desire, as fallen sinners, is to indulge ourselves as often as we can. If we long to indulge ourselves we can become a spiritual pillar of salt and be useless when it comes to working for eternity. We have a choice to follow the Lord Jesus Christ and do it His way or to follow our own desires and seek to work for our salvation.
