Looking Ahead

Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
Philippians 3:13

Have you ever tried to walk or run while looking back? It is nearly impossible and even if you manage to, you are doing it at slower pace and there is always chance for an accident.Our spiritual walk is no different. Too many of us are looking back and walking toward Jesus. Some are looking back at mistakes, broken marriages, broken relationships, bad life style and some are looking back with longing for life of sinful behavior, longing for days of drinking and partying like Lot’s wife who looked back not wanting to let go of life in Sodom. In either case, you are hindering your walk with Christ and process of sanctification. STOP, Let go of the past and focus on Christ and be blessed as he takes away the pain of the past and puts a new joy in your heart.
