Imagination

Who is like the wise man? Who knows
the explanation of things? Wisdom brightens 
a man's face and changes it hard appearance. 
                         Bible quote: Ecclesiaste 8: 1

My imagination keep coming
with an image of a woman who turned
to be the pillar of salt after desobeying 
the instructions of the angels of God 
who came to burn Sodom and 
Gomorrah and rescued her and her family 
because patriach Abraham 
pleaded them. 
A good imagination as it is reminding 
me about some wrong things which provoked
the anger of God to burn the entre communities. 
Some people can think  the history of Sodom 
and Gomorrah is fictional 
While witnessing some homosexual 
marriages in the streets , gardens, 
town halls and some churches daily. 
how sad the wife of Lot was when she saw her
relatives burning because of their wrong deeds? 
How sad Lot and his daughters were after losing their 
love ones on the way and in the cities? 
How do you always feel when you meet some godly 
people you knew earlier but they ended up being drug addicts , prostitutes and dengerous criminals? 
This immagination comes with a great lesson 
about the punishment of God whenever desobeying Him. 
It is not wise to look back when you are saved. 
I mean to bring back the former bad behaviours 
and characters after being changed 
Through listening to the true word  of God 
and experiencing godly life...
(living  in the will of God).
