GET OUT OF THE REARVIEW MIRROR!

GET OUT OF THE REARVIEW MIRROR!

Sometimes it’s good to look back.  We cannot afford to forget our family and faith legacies, nor should we neglect lessons learned from the past.  On the other hand, it can be dangerous and destructive to look back.  There is a human tendency to become victimized by ‘the paralysis of analysis,” that is, to focus so heavily on past negatives that future positives are impacted or ignored.  In such cases, personal potential is delayed or denied.

Jesus recalled the story of Lot’s wife, who was advised to flee from a place of destruction and never to look back.  Due to anxiety about the life she left behind, she took one more glance backward and turned into a pillar of salt. (Genesis 19:24-26 and Luke 17:32) 

My friend, get out of the rearview mirror!  In vehicles, rearview mirrors are needed (primarily) for changing lanes.  This is not necessarily your season to change lanes.  Indeed, it is your time to forge ahead with faith, joy and confidence. The Apostle Paul said it well: “Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press…” (Philippians 3:13-14) Jesus Christ said it best: “No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62) 

Heaven’s Rhema: YOUR FLOW IS IN YOUR FUTURE…not in your past!

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
