Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. (Isaiah 43:18 KJV)
This year we need to not dwell on the past. The Lord says forget them and let them go. This is a new year. God is going to bring us Great opportunities, but, it is up to us to get a hold of these new opportunities.
This year, let's CHANGE OUR FOCUS and QUIT LOOKING BEHING...START LOOKING AHEAD.
If we continually look behind, we can not see where we are going. If we are ever going to move on to new things in Christ, then we must learn that we cannot depend upon past victories to sustain us. Forget the former things.
The question isn't what has God done in our lives. The question must be:
-What is God doing in your life right now?
-What is it that you want Him to do in your life right now?
In order to move on to new things in Christ, you must know that you can not allow your past failures to possess you. DO NOT DWELL ON THE PAST!
Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon. (Isaiah 55:7 NIV)
Will you not revive us again,
that your people may rejoice in you? Show us your unfailing love, Lord,
and grant us your salvation. I will listen to what God the Lord says (Psalm 85:6-8a NIV)
This year we need to listen as God speaks and follow where He leads.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:19 KJV)
May God be with you. Happy New Year!
