God instructs us to look and move forward towards the Kingdom, considering ourselves sojourners and pilgrims pushing toward a heavenly home. We must be careful not to get too accustomed to this temporary earthly home, so that we find it difficult, in the manner of Lot's hapless wife, to leave it all behind. Like the Israelite's under Moses direction looking longingly back to slavery in Egypt, Lot's wife looked longingly back to Sodom, perhaps fearing for her children and grandchildren, but sadly not willing to be freed from the bondage of sin and perversion which Sodom had become. We are admonished to increase the level of urgency because the Babylonic system today is no better than Sodom. Just as the angels had to goad Lot and his lingering family, God is providing us with the same level of urgency which we should move—insisting that we do it now! Luke 9:62 warns us that after we set our hands to the plow, if we feel inclined to look back, we are not fit to enter the Kingdom of God. If we look any direction but forward, we are bound to trip and fall. So much in this life will cause us to look left, right, even backwards, and that could be our downfall, if we allow it. God, through Lot's wife, has given us a powerful example to move forward, to focus on what is ahead, to listen to Him, and to press forward towards the Kingdom. Remember Lot's wife!
