Lot's Loss

"Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.... Remember Lot's wife" (Luke 17:28-32).

We ought to be giving some serious thought
To the losses that we may observe in Lot's life.
All of his riches were gathered for naught,
And then we are told to remember Lot's wife.

Though Lot had escaped from the fiery wrath,
Sodom corrupted his wife and his daughters.
This was the consequence of his chosen path
That poisoned the well of morality's waters.

No wonder the Scriptures declare he was vexed!
No wonder that Lot had such grief in his soul!
May we well consider this serious text,
And surrender our hearts to our Savior's control!
