GO FORWARD.
And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.”- Exodus 14:15.
Your breakthrough is not behind you; it is in front of you. There is no point in looking backwards and allowing the pains and regret of yesterday to become your focal point. The past is gone; let us, with expectation, advance into the future. Let us go forward with faith and hope, knowing that God has gone ahead of us to prepare new opportunities for us to fix in our lives the problems created by the mistakes of our past.
With God, there is no need to “cry over spilt milk”; we may need to repent, redress and make the necessary restitution when it applies, but even these must be done in the vein of forward motion.
Obedience to God is a vital key to ensuring that we keep going forward; when we stop obeying God, we will definitely start drifting backwards (Jeremiah 7:24). The apostle Paul understood this principle, which was why in spite of his horrible past, he was able to achieve so much for God’s kingdom. The key to Paul’s success was a determination to imbibe a forward-thinking mentality and adopt a forward-moving lifestyle.
Child of God, go forward! Stop regretting and start advancing. There are mighty breakthroughs just ahead of you. Do not look back anymore; raise up your rod of faith and watch your sea divide!
Additional Scripture Reference(s): Philippians 3:13-16.
Prayer and Confession of Faith: I forget the past and focus on the glorious future God has in store for me. I move forward by faith, as the Holy Spirit leads me in my thinking and in my lifestyle. In Jesus' name, Amen!
