Day 10 (Genesis 19,20; Psalm 10)..."More Troubling Than Lot's Wife Turning to Salt"
You could rate Genesis 19 not only"X" but also "T" for troubling. Chapter 19 gives us an insight of how wicked Sodom and Gomorrah had become. The scene is graphic and implies the barbaric atmosphere of "gang rape." How could Lot offer his daughters instead of the men? This has to be one of the most disturbing bibical passages in the entire Bible. The image of Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt for looking back has long been used to inspire..."keep your eyes on the Lord." This image is also present in Jesus' teaching of not taking your eye off the plow in the New Testament. (Luke 9:62)
