Forget it! Move On!

Something occurred this morning which has me thinking about times past- sometimes spending time remembering can be a good thing.... but not always. 

I’m sure you’ve all heard someone say, “I’ve got eyes on the back of my head.” However, God created us with our eyes in front because it’s more important to look ahead to where we’re going than dwell on where we’ve been. 

Spending time on the “what ifs” will do nothing to change the past. It can’t be changed. Sadly, there is no time machine which allows us to travel back in time and undo a mistake or make a different choice. 

A marathon runner doesn’t replay that last hill over and over; if he did, discouragement would overtake him and he would fail. Instead, he focuses on the next hill and presses on toward the goal. 

Today, I challenge you to press on. Forget those former things which weigh you down and keep your eyes fixed on the prize. 

May your day be blessed💜
