Forget it!

Philippians 3: 13 ESV

¹³ Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead…

I can’t speak for you necessarily, but forgetting the past is often very refreshing.

I need daily fresh starts, like my granddaughter needs a change of fresh diapers.

I had a High School teacher that could always help me forget the past, and remind me of what lie ahead.

I remember a time when I was supposed to sing in a school assembly, and I had this giant pimple right at the end of my nose.

Sorry for the gory details, but this is a true story.

She often used these words, when a dilemma came my way… “Daniel, this too shall pass…”

She was right, although I didn’t feel that way at the time.

I’m glad with Jesus, there always seems to be a virtual light at the end of the tunnel.

What are you carrying this morning, that you’d just as soon forget?

Have you thought at all, about giving it over to Jesus?

“Lord God…there have been times when I have felt way overwhelmed. At times I think I have to do it all.

I’m so grateful this morning, that Your in control, and I don’t have to be.

Help me to see my problems as You see them, or as opportunities to draw closer to You.

Help me today to find my net worth and identity in You. Thank You that with You, I can count on a fresh start.

Thank You too, that the really rough patch I went through a while ago…well…this too shall pass, and well, it did. Amen
