Allah did not tell us stories of the people of the past nations -- Bani Israel, Fir'aun, Qarun, Hamman, brothers of Prophet Yusuf a.s., people of Lut, Nuh, etc, in the Quran as fun facts but because we have that potential danger of falling into their tracks.
Never lose sight that the Quran is talking to you, to alert you when you are about to slip into the path of those who has evoked His anger or who are astray, and to guide you to the straight path, the path who He has bestowed His favors. Isn't that what you ask for when you read Surah Al Fatihah during your prayers? So read the Quran daily and contemplate. You will find the guidance in the Quran if only you read it and reflect upon it.
لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَٰبًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ ۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿١٠﴾
We have certainly sent down to you a Book in which is your mention. Then will you not reason? [Quran, Al Anbiya 21:10]
May Allah make us people of His remembrance. Aameen.
