Live Forward
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE |
“...I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead” |
(Philippians 3:13, NLT) |
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria |
Have you made the decision to
forget the past? Many people don’t fully understand what that means.
They wonder, “How can I forget something that’s happened to me?” But one
definition of the word forget is to disregard intentionally or to
overlook. In other words, you have to choose to disregard your past so
that it doesn’t keep you from moving forward. That means the good and
the bad. Sometimes our past victories keep us from rising higher as much
as past failures. If we don’t let go of the old, we’ll never be able to
embrace the new.
It doesn’t matter what’s happened
in your history, it’s
time to forget what lies behind. Today, make the choice live forward.
Trust that God has a better future in store for you. Trust that He’s
working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you forget what lies behind
and press forward, you’ll move forward. You’ll see increase and
blessing and live the abundant life He has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY |
Father in heaven, today I choose to forget the past. I don’t want anything to hold me back from what You have in store for my future. I choose forgiveness. I choose peace. Help me, by Your Spirit, to press forward into the life of blessing You have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen. |
