THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past.

LOOK FORWARD

LOOK FORWARD

Philippians 3:12-16
Devotional:- “...but one thing I do forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead (v.13)

It is therefore very delicate to be driving and keep looking backwards. Such a vehicle will not find it easy to arrive where it is going. Yet, this is how many people live their lives.

They often get too affected by the things that have happened to them in the past. Little do they know that this is the trick of the enemy to distract them from being able to move forward in life.

Let us learn a great lesson from the life of Paul the apostle, as we read in the scripture today. He realised the fact that he had not attained God’s goal for his life despite all the miracles God did through him. He still learnt to forget the past and look forward to a greater glory ahead.

Our experiences are made up of three types of events. Bad ones, regretted ones and good ones. We will help ourselves to forget the bad experiences of the past, learn from the regretted ones and thank God for the good ones. Get to know that whatever is past is irreparable. Bothering yourself about them is simply wasting your time since you can’t amend them. Please let them go. There are better experiences of life waiting for you. Please let the past be passed so that you may not pass with it. Look forward, and you will be able to achieve God's plan for your life. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to forget the bitter experience of the past. 

“IF YOU DON’T STOP LOOKING BACKWARDS, THINGS WILL BE GOING BACKWARDS”
