Looking Back

What are you looking back at now?  What is holding you back?  What is hindering you?  What is distracting you?

Whatever it is that is "catching your eye" at the moment, release it.  Please let it go!  Lay it down at the feet of Jesus!

So many times in life, we are like Lot's wife.  "But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt." (Genesis 19:26, NIV)  She turned into a pillar of salt, because she did not obey God.  He had previously told her and her family not to look back.  God had told all of them to keep going...keep moving forward.  She was the only one who looked back.  She was the one who disobeyed God.  As a result, she disintegrated into a pillar of salt. 

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?  I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." (Isaiah 43:18-19, NIV)

"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (Philppians 3:13-14, NIV)

Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62, NIV)

Do not allow anything to hinder or distract you from doing God's work and reaching your destiny.
