 January 8, 2023 - Lot's Wife - "[The angels] said, Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, or stop anywhere in the whole valley...But [Lot's] wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt."  Genesis 19: 17, 26

Three Essential Points in Our Walk with God

1.  Always obey God.

      Rules are not to restrict us.  They are to guide us and keep us close to Him.  He knows what is best for us and we need to trust Him and His guidance for us.

2.  Cling to God alone.

       Material possessions are not important.  God doesn't care how many sets of china we have or which what the labels on our clothes are.  He cares about our obedience and faithfulness to Him.

3,  Never look back.

       We can't return to the past.   Just like I had to move on from living in our old house, we need to keep moving forward and not look back.  I won't return to teaching.  That part of my life is over.   I am having a little trouble embracing the fact that I am 71.  That's hard!

Lord, Help me become an obedient daughter with my eyes on you alone.  Amen.
