Ladies, is it just me or do we all have those times in life that we start to mourn the past ? What I mean is we start to look back over the past, things that have happened, decisions that were made and we start playing the game of “should have, could have, would have”. That’s a dangerous thing to do on so many levels. I have been thinking a lot on this lately so just sharing a few thoughts
Looking back is distracting to what God has in store for the future. Yes I am sure there are things that could have been done differently, choices that could have gone another route but if we stay focused on those things we will miss what is right in front of us.
Looking back is destructive. Don't get caught in that trap of longing for the past that you end up like Lot's wife, looking back was the last choice she ever had the opportunity to make.
Remember you are a child of God, a princess to the King of kings. You are important, your future is important. God has a plan for your life.
Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
Sometimes the pressures we are currently under is what causes us to want to look back, turn around and wish for the things of the past, I know because I have been there. There have been times in my life when the pressure was so great I have thought if I had only made a different choice life would be this hard, but the truth is life is always going to be hard, the only thing that makes it worth while is making sure that my life is lined up with what God desires of me. Everything else means nothing. The past is just that PAST, so lift up your eyes and grab a hold of the promises God has given you.
Esther 4:14 "For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
I Corinthians 1:20 "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."
