Are You Going Backwards, Forwards, or Are You Trying To Stand Still?

Where do you go from here?   Do you go backwards, forwards, or are you trying to stand still?   If you are trying to go back to the way things “used to be”, you are going backwards.   If you are trying to “keep everything just the way it is”, you are trying to stand still.   If you are “hopeful and living in expectation”, you are ready to move forward with God.    

God said in His Word that He knows the “plans” He has for us.   Plans are for future endeavors.    A plan is decided on and made in advance.   It is a design for something to be built and/or to make something happen.   Just think about it.  God has a plan in place for your life.   He has a design for how He wants your life to be built and for what He make happen in your life.   Not only that, He has said that His plan is so that you will have hope, a future, and an expected end.   Remember, a plan outlines a design and it also shows you the end result.   

Understand, your past is your past, your present is your present, and your future is your future.   Don’t get stuck in your past or your present.   Have hope and expectation for what God has promised for your future.   Keep moving forward with God.   Don’t allow life or the situations in your life to keep you from experiencing the best that is yet to come in your future.   God has a plan and you have to trust Him to take you through whatever you are going through in order to get you to what He has promised you.    

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Ephesians 2:10 - For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.


Jeremiah 1:5 - Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations
