"Looking Ahead"

When the Israelites were freed from slavery from Egypt, they yearned to go back, forgetting they were slaves. They wanted to go back to what they were used to and the comforts of the old ways. When a man named Lot and his family fled Sodom and Gomorrah, because it was going to be destroyed, they were told not to look back. Lot's wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. When Jesus was crucified, some of the disciples of Jesus went back to what was familiar to them, which was fishing. Jesus said it well, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God." How do we continue to look ahead when many want to go back to "normal?" How can we put our trust in God who knows our future and what's good for us when so many bad things are happening?
