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 to absolutely
avoid looking back. Due to anxiety about the life she left behind, she
took one more glance rearward 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, peace and confidence. The
Apostle Paul expressed 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)
Today’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 YOUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
