Lots Wife

Lot’s Wife (Genesis 19:15-26) Not even the outcry of an angel could keep her eyes from turning back. With impending doom about to bring the cities down to ashes, she may have thought of something left behind – a dress, a ring, a cherished keepsake – she could not live without, and so she turned and looked, while ahead the others, still caught in the fear of the angel’s voice, flew into the distance with feet like beating wings of flushed-out birds, while hers grew heavy with the weight of salt.

disobeying God comes at a steep price, if one believes that way. It would have been hard not to turn and look.
