Do Not Look Back

Genesis 19:26

"But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt."

Actually, casualties or victims could be reduced when earthquake occurred in Yogyakarta 27 May 2006 (7 years ago). According to a story, many people that had escaped from home safely--went back into their home to save their assets. Unfortunately, they lost their life while they were trying to save their assets.

Similar story to what had happened with Lot's wife. Even it looks like a small matter, looking back can cause a serious problem. Supposedly Lot's wife was safe. But, she looked back and she died.

 The same thing with those casualties that supposedly were safe, but  in the end they died because they went back to their home to save their assets.


This thing prevails in every aspect. In career, relationship, or so on. Many people are discouraged in their activities just because they are remembered about past failures. 

Many workers are discouraged with their job because of firing or layoff. Many workers do not perform well in their career because they are afraid of their past experiences which lead to firing of layoff in the end.

Many relationships becomes a big trouble just because people always remember all the mistakes of their soulmates. 

Remember,
Past stories cannot be changed. Therefore, it is better we focus to change our future through our decisions today.

It is OK if you want to learn from the past failures. but do not live there (read: in your past failures). 

We will never reach our desired future, if we still look back.

 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:^[a] The old has gone, the new is here!"
