Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past.
Isaiah 43:18
The human nature is prone to dwell on things which happened long ago. This is a trick and a ploy of the enemy, to focus our attention upon things which will hinder us, block us from our future blessings.
It seems that human understanding can often perceive that our future lies in the past, but this isn't so.
If we continue to gaze upon things which have already taken place, we seem to ponder upon the ways which brought us to the point that we are at now. While gazing upon those same things, we shall remain where we are.
God never looks back. He is continually moving and planning in
our individual journeys. His plans are to move us on, to move us ahead. He often has to stand and wait upon us, while we are still looking back, and complaining, all the while, that He isn't moving
quickly enough.
Let your eyes look straight ahead,
fix your gaze directly before you.
Proverbs 4:25
If we look straight ahead, we will see Jesus. We will see all that He sees, the vision He is preparing for us, along our way.
He has new plans and new ideas every day. He never lacks creative power.
He is the God of all power.
Keep your eyes upon Jesus, follow Him. You will be led into the dreams, the visions, which never fail, because they are of His making, His design.
No one can thwart the plans of God for you. He is the God of the Most High power and His plans never fail.
Praise God.
Dear Father,
I give thanks and praise to You today,
because You have plans made for me,
which are faultless.
Father, keep me in Your plans,
in Your pathway,
and may my eyes be set upon the path before me,
rather than behind me.
Father, help me today, to see my way,
through Your eyes,
and may all Your plans for me prosper,
and succeed.
In the name of Jesus,
I pray, trust, and believe, giving You all praise, honor,
thanks, and glory.
Amen.
