Genesis 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. "Remember Lot's wife" — 1. In the hour of conviction of sin. "Up! flee for your life!" is the voice of the Holy Spirit. Delay, hesitation, casting longing looks back on a life of sin, then, may be fatal. 2. In the hour of fiery temptation. The only safety is in precipitate flight. 3. When any question of duty is pressed upon you. 4. Amid the assaults of unbelief. 5. Note what Christ says in Luke 9:62: "No man, having put his hand to the plough," etc. (1) He is not intent on the work in hand. (2) His earthly ties and interests are stronger than those which pertain to heavenly things. (3) He has really surrendered himself to temptation. (J. M. Sherwood, D. D.)
