Don't Look Back By Vance K. Jackson预览

When God Destroys It... Don’t Look Back. The definition of Sodom and Gomorrah means, “Burning” and “Submersion“. Interestingly enough, in Genesis 13, a few chapters before God burned up and submerged Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone, Lot chose to separate from Abram and he settled in Sodom. Lot saw that the land was “good” to the eye. Remember, what looks good on the outside may not be necessarily good on the inside — looks can be deceiving. Discern your next move. Pray and ask God to lead your next steps. What drew Lot to Sodom and Gomorrah? What was in Lot’s heart that pulled him to that region? The land “looked good” on the outside but at its core, the region was filled with wickedness. The lush of lust, lured Lot away. Even after Lot saw that Sodom and Gomorrah were filled with wickedness and perversion, he still decided to settle in the region and he took up residence, in a perverted place, with his family. An opportunity may look good on the outside, but always ask God as to the direction you should take. Your steps and decisions that you make today are directly linked to the success or downfall of future generations. Every seemingly “good” opportunity is not a God led assignment. Seek God for instructions and allow Him to lead your next steps. Follow His lead and you’ll never steer your house in the wrong direction.
