'But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all...But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt' [Luke 17:29-30; Gen. 19:26]
***
Remember Lot's Wife by WILLIAM BRIDGE, M.A. (1600?-1674)
"If this story of Lot's wife be true, and do live in our memory, then here we may learn by way of instruction, and see how far a man or woman may go in religion, and yet come short at the last. Lot's wife went far, she was a professor of the first and the highest form, she had lived a long while in Abraham's family, she had walked with her husband Lot, and enjoyed his prayers many years; she stood out against the wickedness of Sodom while she was there; she was in some measure obedient unto the voice of the angel in going out of Sodom; and, as some observe, she was a professor of seventy years growth, and yet she miscarried. How far may men and women go in religion, and yet miscarry at the last?"

An excellent, timeless message from days long past. Well worth taking the time to carefully read and meditate upon this powerful exhortation.
