Remember Lot's wife.
Luke 17:32 (ESV)Lot's wife's look was a little thing, yet we are told not to emulate her behavior. Is God speaking of being careful about the little things? Should we make a list of little things to avoid?
I think not.
Lot's wife, like Eve, knew the simple instructions God had given and disobeyed them. God was clear. His request was something that was well understood. Lot's wife was capable of following His command. Yet, for some reason, she chose to ignore what He said.
Was it because it was a "little" thing? Was it because she was forgetful? Was it because _________? The Bible does not tell us why she ignored God, but it does tell us to remember what she did and to not be like her.
God's instructions to us are clear, simple, and something we can do. God offers us life, whereas the world offers us the pretense of life.
For now, the choice is ours.
