And so with a new beginning comes the resolve to look ahead and not at the past!
The past happened, but because we believe in the promises of Jesus, we know all our past failings have been washed away by the precious Blood of the Lamb. We have the authority to walk as though we never sinned, to look ahead with hope, and to overcome the sins that used to so easily beset us!
Looking ahead requires that we accept God’s mercy with grace, embrace His help in future times of need, and stay on the paths of holiness with all our resolve and submission to God.
Regardless of what we have gone through, we should remember that our trials should be faced with joy, because victory has been won on the Cross, and wonderful testimonies would emanate from them, if we stay the course.
Do not look back!
Focus on today and the future!!
Ask God for strength and patience to weather the storms, and to stand!!!
Forgive others who have wronged you, just as the Lord God has forgiven you!!!!
Mercy has been bestowed upon you; do likewise to others!!!!!
May the anticipation of future victories give you the strength to get back in the race, knowing that heavenly witnesses are cheering for you.
Look up to the hills, to God, and to His Son Jesus; only from there can true help come in this time of need. God has promised never to leave you nor forsake you (Joshua 1:5). Set your face like stone on this promise, looking ahead in hope, joy, and victory.

Lesson of the Week

1. Get back in line, and never look back at your forgiven past (Luke 9:62).
2. Stay focused on God, and ways to please Him (Psalms 121:1-3).
A new beginning means picking yourself up from the dirt and shame, and getting back to the good graces of God. It means forging ahead, and refusing to look backwards!
Lot’s wife looked backwards and turned into a pillar of Salt (Genesis 19:26); Rahab looked ahead and became the reason for the survival of her family after the fall of Jericho (Joshua 6:23-25).
Keep your eyes on God who has promised you a new beginning; do not waver!
Peter kept his eyes on the Lord Jesus and walked on water (Matthew 14:29); James warned us that if we waver in our faith in God, we will not receive anything from Him (James 1:6-7).
Walk your new walk with God, confidently looking to Him for guidance, protection, healing, and provision. God promised; He cannot fail, so look ahead in faith.
May God empower you and grant you grace for the journey ahead, and may you STAND!
Blessings from His Throne.
