2009 is History

Yesterday is gone.

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. – Phil 3:13-14 (KJV)

You cannot do a thing about 2009 except learn from it. Learn the lessons, forget the details. New Year, new chapter in your life.

The most important time in our lives is today. What we are doing with today will determine our tomorrow. Today we thank God for today and do all that we can to live in the very center of His will. The Apostle Paul in writing to the Church in Philippi said that he had not experienced all that God had for Him yet and because of that there is ONE thing that he did…”FORGETTING those things that are behind”.

Forgetting the past is a big key to accomplishing what God has for you to accomplish just ahead. It is a monumental task that requires the power of the Holy Spirit working in your life.

Check out this powerful word from The Word:

“This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”- Isaiah 43:16, 18-19

Move forward by leaving 2009 in 2009! Great things are just ahead – 2010 here we come!

Out With the Old

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!

Get Past the Past

Quit looking in the rear view mirror. Move forward and PRESS ON! “…forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.”- Philippians 3:13-14 AMP

The good, bad and ugly that happened in the past is in the past. You can not do a thing about the past except learn from it. Take the experience you gained and move forward to all that God has for you today!

It is time to do great things for God today. We don’t have yesterday and we don’t have tomorrow yet. Let’s do things that we have never done before today. Stretch your faith, act on God’s Word today. Press forward and quit looking in the rear view mirror before you hit something right in front of you.
