God's Plan Over Ours
Commentators like John Calvin explain that Lot's fear in Zoar was a direct result of his earlier disobedience. He had rejected God's command to flee to the mountain, choosing the city instead. Now, anxiety drove him to the very place God had originally intended. This serves as a powerful reminder that God's plans are ultimately safer and better than our own self-devised solutions.
