Are You Still Looking Back or Are You Focused On The Purpose and Plan That God Has For Your Future?

How often do you look back?   How often do you try to go back?  Going back to your past should no longer be an option.   Even if your past days were good days, you should not be trying to relive the days of old.   You should be excited about fulfilling the plan and the purpose God has for your life.   Understand, plans are for the future.    God's plans are His goals, objectives, and intentions for your life.

It's time to stop dwelling on the past.   It's time to move forward with God.   It's time to let your past catapult you into your future.   It's time to let go and to trust God with the next steps of your life.    Just think about it, when a baby learns to walk, he has to gain confidence in order to take the next few steps.   If he thinks about how he fell in the past, it may take him a while to regain his confidence.   But if he is adventurous, encouraged, and excited about walking, he will continue to try to take more and more steps.    That's how we have to be with our walk with God. 

Even though things may not have worked out in our lives the way we expected or planned them to, we have to remain confident in the promises of God.   We can't let life knock us down and be afraid to get back up.   We can't become discouraged and refuse to move forward with God out of fear.    We have to have faith and confidence in what God has promised.   He said in His Word that He has a plan for us and that plan carries within it hope, our future, and an expected end.
