Luke 9:61-62
Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family.” Jesus replied, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the Kingdom of God.”
“No turning back…no turning back.”
God is speaking very clearly to me on this issue of looking back.
• If I am constantly looking back at what was or what could have been, then I’m not looking at where I am now. I am only looking at where I’ve been.
• If I am looking back, I could get lost in all the failures and mistakes that I’ve done and this could cripple me or cause me to fall out of God’s Will in my life.
All these things keep me from what God is doing now or what He wants to do. I can’t be used by God to move His kingdom forward when I am constantly turned, looking at the “has beens” or the “shoulda beens”.
It’s time for me to stop dwelling on the mistakes of my past and start taking the steps forward to serve God wholeheartedly. It’s time for God’s release in my life – it’s time to step out, step FORWARD into God’s plan for my life.
What’s happened has happened. It’s time to shake off, get on my feet and wholeheartedly go after God!
