Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 3:13-14
Forgetting what is behind. Putting one foot in front of the other we forge ahead. We will not go backwards. We will not give up ground. The songwriter penned: "Just can't give up now. Come too far from where I started from." Press delete and then move forward.
When the enemy comes to accuse and throw the past in your face, tempting you to look back at who you were before you were a believer, forget it God has. His word says: For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:11-12)
It may not be clear to you, the purpose of what's going on. But God is infinite in His understanding. Look forward. Lay aside doubt. Stomp on negativity. Hold your head up. Look to the hills. Do not look back. Close your eyes. Say a prayer. Grab hold to the truth of the gospel. As for the moments of beating yourself up, forget it. Press delete and then move forward.
Look at God. Magnificent God. Keep your eyes on Him.
God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
