Today is a New Day!

Yesterday is old and gone.

So why do we keep looking back at the old…staring backwards into yesterday?

Why do you think we become so distracted with our past hurts and mistakes?

We live IN them! Day after day….Re-living them over and over in our minds. Regretting what we did or didn’t do, or wishing “that” hadn’t happened. We say “IF” only…

Because my Dear Sisters, we are in battle!!!

When we live IN anything other than Christ, we’ve fallen into a trap.

There is a battle going on around you, and its surrounding you with the intention to steal your attention. If he can steal your attention, he can kill your healing, and he will destroy your calling!

John 10:10~The thief comes ONLY to steal, kill, and destroy.

If your enemy can keep your head turned toward your past battles, even though most of them you’ve conquered, yet they still taunt you…your eyes won’t be focused on what lies ahead in your future!

Philippians 3:13-14~I have not yet achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the Heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus is calling us.

What He’s calling you to is His plan and purpose for your life, but you will never receive it if your attention is turned toward your past.

Turn your head back around, and set your eyes on today.

Right where you are.

Broken, lonely, hurt, angry, scared, tired, uncertain….He knows. And He’s ready to do a new thing in you this New Year.

Keep your eyes focused, looking forward and listening for His calling.

Father God, Thank you for making all things new. Help me today to stop looking backwards and reminding myself of the past and constantly reliving it. Instead, call me to reach toward the future you are calling me to! Help me to press on and look forward to the unknown by keeping my eyes on You!

In Jesus name, Amen.
