#Ulog Day 23 - Don't Be Anchored to Your Past
Philippians 3:13 (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.
The world we live in, has moments of precious experiences. Relationships that made us happy, the birth of a child that made us happy, our dream job, our dream home, our dream car, when we look back on those things they put a big smile on our faces.
However, like a seasons, sooner or later we may find that the very joy we once experienced is no longer in the same form in which it originally was given. In the Spirit nothing changes. The shell is gone, but the "seed" still remains.
Moving forward into GOD's plan for our lives is impeded when we hold on to that which has already passed away, instead of clutching the empty shell of what was, we should be scattering the living seed on new paths.
We need to live life to it's fullest each day. If we spend each day in sorrow remembering what was in our past experiences, that we no longer have, we soon find ourselves STUCK. We find ourselves unable to move forward.
I believe that GOD has wonderful things in store for those who dare to trust Him. Don't look for GOD in the shadows of the past, He is not there.
We limit GOD. We try and give him "human" attributes. Because we don't see a way out, we reason in our suits of flesh, that there isn't one. GOD is not limited by anything. First we have to believe that GOD is who He says He is, and that He does what He says He will do. When we get that straight in our minds, we can go on to believe in miracles.
GOD has not changed. He is still the GOD that parted the Red Sea so the Israelites could go through; He is still the GOD that helped David defeat the Giant. GOD wants to part our Red Sea's of difficulties and He wants to slay the giants in our lives.
"I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead."
I believe GOD would say, "Because if you trust me, I have something much better in store. I simply ask that you be willing to "Let GO."
We may bind ourselves to the "shell" of what once was, but the seed has left the shell and essentially the shell of the past is useless.
We must accept things we can't change, and we must realize that it's time to let go and give the past to GOD. Until we are willing to close the door to the past, GOD is unable to fully open a door to our future.
I find it exciting to live each day in anticipation of what GOD will do to in my life. I believe that GOD exists, and I believe He is my father. In believing that, I realize that He has something planned for me, a way out of the wilderness of my situation.
