Have you ever seen or noticed, that in our lives we all have to make some decisions, and choices that may seem crazy but turn out to be the best things for us. Everybody will get to a point, that we have to move forward and see when you move forward then go forward period.
There is nothing good about moving forward, if you are still bringing up the past and dwelling on the past. All of us have pasts, all of us have had many different types of episodes and experiences that have shook us, rocked us, hurt us, discouraged us, and even really seems like it put a dent into us. Those things happened, but life still goes on, life still goes forward, life still has to be lived, and you can’t live life if you are moving forward but still reflecting on what was.
That’s the thing….. it is what was, it is over, it isn’t going anywhere, it’s no need of trying to bring it back up again, it is no need to trying to think about what if this or that. If the Lord has moved you, then you need to move as well. Sometimes we still stay, when the Lord has already moved us to the next destination and the next chapter. What chapter haven’t you closed the book on, that’s just getting in the way of you advancing and really enjoying yourself. You have to move, when the Lord has moved you then you move as well.
It’s just like when somebody moves, they pack all of the stuff that they have and you know once you pack and move that should be it. Yet, there are times when we will leave things in storage, or at that old house it is like it’s still there. Sometimes in our lives living with God, we have tried to bring some stuff with us that shouldn’t have come, and left some stuff that should have came. We all have to look at, what’s up with you, what are you going to do when it’s time to move.
If it is time to move, then it’s time to move. We can restrict ourselves, and we can ruin our blessings of the present and future by still dwelling on the past. Stop ruining the present, by thinking that the present is still going to be the same like the past. The past is that, you have to believe and trust in God enough to let it go and if He removed you then you need to remove yourself as well. Remove yourself, pray to God and let God move you away and move you from the past.
We all want the best, then if we want the best then let’s have and get the best. A person that is great at baking cakes, didn’t get good over night. They had some disappointments in baking, but they kept going strong, kept learning, and kept putting into practice in order for it to get better. That’s the same thing in our lives, we have had various seasons in our past good and bad but it’s the past. If you are going to move forward, then move forward, move forward, move forward, there should be no restrictions if you have gotten confirmation from God!
Let’s move forward!
Philippians 3:13-14 NASB
[13] Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, [14] I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
