This is a message for someone who is considering returning to a place from which God has delivered them! In Genesis, it talks about two angels who went to Abraham and informed him that they were on their way to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah due to God's judgment upon the cities because of homosexuality and sexual perversion! Abraham pleaded for the safety of his nephew Lot and his family, and the angels granted Abraham's request.
When the angels arrived at the city, they encountered the men of Sodom who insisted that the angels stay with them because Sodom was a dangerous place for them. When the men saw Lot taking the angels back to his house, they attacked Lot in an attempt to reach the angels. The Bible states that they surrounded the house, as every man in the city desired to engage in intimate relations with the angels.
The angels warned Lot that they were about to destroy everyone in the city, so he should gather his family and leave without looking back. If anyone looked back, they would be killed. Lot and his family ran, but unfortunately, Lot's wife desired to return to the city. She looked back and was killed.
This story teaches us an important lesson: regardless of our situation, if God has delivered us from a certain place or circumstance, we should not look back. Looking back can destroy us or, worse yet, cost us our lives. Sometimes, transitioning from what you have always known to something new can be challenging. It can make you feel like it's easier to go backwards rather than moving forward. One thing about most humans is that we love to be comfortable. So, when things get tense or we try something new, we yearn for comfort.
However, in order to break free from old patterns, cycles, and ways of living, it is important to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. The Bible says in Isaiah 43:18, "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth." In order to receive the fullness of what God has for you, it is imperative that we never look back and find peace in knowing that we can do all things through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who strengthens us. Furthermore, nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is too big for God to handle! He is an awesome God, a righteous God, the great I AM! He is the one and only true King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
I hope this helps. God bless you!
