I am back to write some more for my blog. This time, and for the next few weeks, it will be for an Old Testament class I am taking. Each week I will share a little of what I learned from my personal study and from comments by members of my class. This past week I shared a scripture, Genesis 19:26 which reads "But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt". This scripture takes place when Lot and his family are leaving Sodom and Gomorrah. His wife turns back as they are leaving perhaps to get one last look at their home, and in so doing, she turns to salt. This has an application that the past is in the past and that is where it is meant to stay. When she looked back, its like she was looking back at here past sins. We are asked to look forward with an eye of faith and concentrate on Jesus Christ and have faith in his Atonement and that it will heal us of all our sins. Our past sins can be a method of teaching us and to learn from. If we just remember that our Savior is always there for us and that he loves us and that we do not have to dwell on the past, we can move forward and be happy.
