Seed for Sept 24

Jesus told us to remember Lot's wife, who looking back toward Sodom (her home) she was turned into a pillar of salt. "Looking back" could mean a lot of things, but to me it meant that her heart was there still in that land of Sodom. Her body has left Sodom but her heart longed to return. We have to be careful to not look back at our past life, and long to be back there. Remember Lot's wife. What we left behind in our "BC" days is exactly that, buried and past and forgotten. The Enemy wants us to remember, and feel as though we have not been forgiven, but he is a liar and the father of lies. Having put our hands to the plow (the work of God) let us not look back, but as Paul said, "Forgetting those things behind, I press forward...." We are a new creation and all things have become new. Our past is just that, gone and forgotten, all under the blood. Arise to walk in newness of life.
