[pull_quote_center]“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.” Isaiah 43:18 NKJV[/pull_quote_center]
Some people never stop talking about the good old days; the sad part is that they are not doing anything to make today and tomorrow as good, or even better than those good old days! They just sit down whining, glued to yesterday in their imaginations.
In Jeremiah 29:11 God says that He wants to give us a future. In other words, He has prepared great things for us in the days to come! But we will never get them as long as we keep looking backwards! So He said, don’t remember the past, don’t even consider it.
Be motivated by what’s coming rather than what has already come to pass. One thing is certain: you can never go back to the past. And the past will not determine the future except you choose to allow it do so.
Don’t rob yourself of a happy tomorrow just because you had a painful past; don’t let what happened yesterday deprive you of enjoying the glorious future reserved for you by God. Forgetting the past and reaching on to the things which are ahead! Hallelujah!
