In Genesis 19, God destroys the two cities of ***** and Gomorrah because of their sin and orders only Lot and his family to leave the city. They are instructed not turn back to look at the cities. Lot's wife turned around, clinging to the past. When God deals with our past and our sinful nature, He instructs us to be willing to turn completely away and not to hold onto any fear, doubt, or disobedience. "Hometown" represents doubts, fears, and ultimately not putting my complete trust in God—the place where I'm coming from. I believe that's why I'm going through this 'season of wilderness'. I'm tempted to look back after trusting God to throw off my sinful nature and trust in His Spirit. God's still working on me to let go of my desires and align my heart with His, and He's still 'hiding His face' to test and build my faith.
