Eyes on him

What would happened if you tried to drive while constantly gazing into your rear view mirror? What would happen if you tried walking looking backwards? Let me tell you, you wont get very far, in fact you wont get anywhere. This goes for the way we live our lives, if we constantly look back on the things that happened to us instead of focusing on what’s coming in the past we will remain. We wont get anywhere. Every time we start moving eventually we will smack into a wall. Dwell in the past that is where our hopes will remain. We must use our previous experiences to carry on and prepare ourselves for the road ahead but use them positively. We must not fester on what went wrong but realize why it went wrong and understand why it didn’t work. Gods ways are not ours, In fact they are much better. WE must have faith that even in the hardest of times God will carry us through and provide us strength to endure. How can we strive to move forward if our hopes remain on past events. God ended my relationship because I was putting her first before him. I put God second when he should have been first all along. It took time to realize what was going on and the plan he has for me. I needed time with him and him only. Its when we look back at what we have overcome do we realize why it happened. You will find yourself saying “Of course”. If something in your past is eating away at you, I urge you to look to God for peace of mind. He will provide. In James 1:2-5 it says "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." When we have hit our lowest point God blesses us with the opportunity to look up to him. For it says in Psalms 55:22 “Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”  I will close this with a prayer…



Father God, we come to you right now first of all thanking you for all the wonderful things you have so graciously blessed us with. Lord we are so undeserving of your love but still you are merciful. Lord, today we ask that you relieve us of our stress and our worries. We ask that you bless us with the wisdom to discern what is right from wrong and to keep away from what holds us back. Lord you are so powerful and so infinite, please guide is in the right direction because we know that your way is perfect. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
