| but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. |

Forget The Past, See Jesus Do A New Thing! | |
Despite having repented and
getting saved, Apostle Paul could have dwelled on his serious past
mistake of persecuting the early church. He could have chosen to live a
life of regret and thus fail to fulfill God’s call on his life. But he
didn’t. Instead, he chose to forget the past, “reaching forward to those
things which are ahead.”
My friend, don’t live in the
past. Whether it’s a failed marriage, a huge mistake you made, or a
hurtful remark from someone, leave them all in the past and move
forward. By all means, learn from your mistake. But look to Christ as
your success, wisdom, comfort and strength, and see Him do a new thing in your life by His unmerited favor.
See Him giving you stronger
and blessed relationships through His wisdom and grace. See Him giving
you a better job with better benefits. See Him restoring your health
sevenfold. Consider not “the things of old,” but consider or meditate on
His better promises (Hebrews 8:6). That’s how you move forward into His
good success!
