Eyes Ahead

eDevotion

Encouragement for your daily walk with God 

Two things happened to me yesterday that are the catalyst for this eDevotion. 

1) I had ANOTHER conversation [one of MANY] with someone who seems to live in the past. The person rarely speaks about anything else, consequently the person is in a continual tailspin—spiraling downward, despite all attempts to minister to him/her. It is literally heartbreaking.

2) While driving home I looked into my rearview mirror. Now, you may be asking, What in the world would that have to do with anything? Well it caused me to think how difficult it is to drive a car to your destination if you only look in the rearview mirror. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that that is a surefire way to crash and burn. 

While it is important to learn from our past, there is no reason to focus on, or live in it. How is it possible to move forward unless we take our eyes off the past and focus on what is ahead—to the great things God has ahead of us! 

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John 8:36
