The necessity of loyalty …

The escape of Lot, his wife, and two daughters from the city of Sodom is a well-known story told in Genesis 19. It offers us a profound lesson: you’re not living for the Lord when you’re longing for Sodom.

“But Lot’s wife looked back as she was following behind him, and she turned into a pillar of salt,” Genesis 19:26.

You cannot be rescued by God from something you secretly desire.

” … Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do,” James 1:6b-8.

Are you loyal to the Lord? Or are you still harboring a longing for sin?
