"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 (NKJV)
How will you ever move forward if you’re looking and living backwards?
I really shouldn’t write anything else, because that is all that needs to be said. We ask ourselves, why we are not living in the reality we say that we want. Often times, the answer lies in the fact that we are still living as if our past were our present. We have not let go of the reality that stopped being a reality one second ago. Each minute is a new opportunity to do something different.
More often than not, it is our thinking – our paradigm – our perspective – our outlook – something in our brains that causes us to stand still and not to press forward to what lies ahead. Are you pressing forward to what lies ahead?
What is in your past that you haven’t let go of? What person, job, disappointment, hurt, success, fear, regret or apprehension is stopping you from moving to the next place God has set before you. It is time to conclude that chapter and to start a new one with new characters with new scenery. It is time to move forward. Forget your past because most likely, your past is not thinking about you!
