How can we tell if we have an heart like Lot's wife?Do I love the world more than I love the LORD?Do I love something in the world more that I love Jesus?Am I a lover of pleasures more that a lover of God?What am I looking at now, that will turn my heart to look back, then, like Lot's wife?I'm afraid, very afraid, that my heart is much darker than I realize.
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
If my heart is really like this, I need to repent!I've prayed that Jesus help me to repent.Then I read last week's repost of Paul N. F., which cited A. W. Tozer:"I believe our problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work!"So am I actually trying to substitute praying for repentance, rather than to just repent?
How can I tell if I have an heart like Lot's wife?I'm terrified of the possibility.
