Moving forward is a great thing!

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

There is one thing required to go forward…leave the past in the past.

Yesterday’s manna stinks. We must move toward all that God has for us today. Living for the moment is what we as Christians need to have as our goal. (in the sense that we are ever sensitive to do exactly what the Lord wants us to do at every moment!) Tomorrow is not here yet and yesterday is gone forever.

Let’s determine to go into 2010 with everything from 2009 left in the past. (except for the lessons that we learned, of course)

God has great things for us just ahead. He wants us to keep moving and keep pressing on. We have a bright future full of faith adventures and faith victories! BUT, we must quit looking behind us, quit pointing to our past failures AND successes! Don’t allow the devil to point out your past to you, be bold and point out his future to him and he will back off quick!

2010 is your year of victory! Determine to shut the door on the past and walk through the new door just ahead. Move into 2010 with God! Pray IN 2010 and experience all that God has for you this next year!
