TODAY is the day!!
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past." (isa 43"18)
"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." (psa 118:24)
"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (phi 3:14)
these verses demonstrate God's call to us to CONTINUALLY leave our past behind and live in the present, looking towards the future. and boy am i grateful to have a God, a heavenly Father who doesn't bring up my shameful, sinful past to show me how great His redeeming grace is. instead, He tells me to dump it all!! and He tells me His love for me is eternal and He'll be my backing all of my days on earth -
"For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies." (psa 57:10)
and He tells me to hold on however tough it may be, cus He's with me every step of the way, picking me up and placing me upon His shoulders; carrying me when my knees give way. the story "Footprints" really captures the essence of this demonstration:)) and He lifts us above it all:) thank You Daddy. hallelujah.
i pray my eyes will look unto You always, seeing only Your beauty, majesty and magnificence. yeap and i pray i won't claim to be too busy to spend time with You, to just sit by Your throne in Your soothing and reassuring presence and let You love me as You want to. may i wait on You in song and declaration as i wait for You and let Your joy be my strength. in Jesus' name, AMEN.
