No Turning Back

No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. — Philippians 3:13-14 (NLT) Leave the old life behind and reach forward to those things which are ahead. God is calling us to a higher place, a deeper place, in Him. Remember Lot’s wife. She looked back, when being rescued, and became a pillar of salt. (See Genesis 19:17&26) Nothing good comes out of trying to hold onto something God has called us out of. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:12 NASB1995) The mercies of the LORD begin afresh each morning. (See Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT) Press on toward the goal. No turning back. “ Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? 
I will even make a roadway in the wilderne...

New Things

“Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” — Isaiah 42:9 (NKJV) Forget those things which are behind and reach forward to the new things which are ahead. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. (Isaiah 43:19 NLT) Let us stop looking for what is convenient, step out of our comfort zones and into the new things God has for us. The LORD’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23 NASB)

No Turning Back!

…I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. — Philippians 3:14 (MSG) The rear view mirror is smaller than the windshield because where you are going is much more significant than where you have been. Forget those things which are behind you and reach forward to what lies ahead. (Philippians 3:13). God is calling us onward & upward! “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?” (Isaiah 43:18-19a NIV)

He is Making a Way for You!

“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, forget those things which are behind and reach forward to those things which are ahead (Philippians 3:13). The LORD is making a way for you, to bring you through the wilderness and the wasteland! Be alert and pay attention. Perceive what the LORD is doing!
