So, what do you do when life gets you down?

You remember:

• Being down isn’t the end.

• God is near, even in the darkness.

• Your pain has purpose.

• And you have the strength—through Christ—to get back up.

Speak this over yourself:

“I may be down, but I will rise again.”

“I may be weary, but I’m still walking.”

“I may not see it yet, but God is working.”

Because when life gets you down, your comeback is in motion.

Have you ever had God tell you to let something go… but your heart just wasn’t ready?

That’s the story of Lot’s wife.

God was about to destroy the city of Sodom. It was corrupt, toxic, full of sin—and He wasn’t going to let Lot’s family stay in that mess.

So he sends angels to pull them out, like literally drag them out by the hand. And right before they run, they’re given one instruction:

“Don’t look back.”

It wasn’t just about the direction they were running—it was about what their hearts needed to leave behind.

Now, imagine this: she’s running with her family. Her home is behind her. Everything familiar. Her friends. Her routines. The life she built, even if it was broken. And in that moment—her heart couldn’t help it. She turned around.

Just one look.

And the Bible says, “Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.” (Genesis 19:26)

She didn’t just turn her head—she looked back with longing. With grief. With attachment to a past, God was trying to free her from.

And that look… cost her everything.

Let that sink in: God was delivering her, and she died in between freedom and bondage—all because she looked back.

How many times do we do the same thing?

God is trying to bring us out—out of toxic cycles, old relationships, painful memories, shame—and yet we keep looking back.

We keep replaying the past, holding onto what He told us to release.

And here’s the truth nobody wants to say out loud:

Looking back when God says move forward will keep you stuck in places you were never meant to die in.

Lot’s wife didn’t trust the future more than she missed the past. And I think that’s where a lot of us get stuck.

We’re more comfortable with what hurt us than with the unknown of healing.

But God is saying, “Let it go. Don’t look back. What’s ahead of you is worth it.”

So here’s the question for you today:

What are you still looking back at—when God already said, “It’s time to move on”?
