WHAT’S BEHIND YOU?

            Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

            If you are so busy you never have time to look back…that’s a good thing. You won’t be wondering if you made a wrong decision. You won’t be worried about who is talking behind your back. You won’t even care if someone else gets praised for something they did because you are more concerned with what the Lord knows rather than what man thinks!

What’s behind you doesn’t matter! What matters is what you’ve done for the Lord today! What matters is what you’re going to do for Him tomorrow! Get your eyes off of yesterday and focus in on what He has for you today!

Blink and it's gone, are you ready?

Our life is scarce the twinkle of a star in God's eternal day. –Taylor

Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4:13-14

Seems like when we were in school it took forever for us to graduate. Days were long and summers were longer. Now, a day seems like a few minutes and summers blow by like a ride on a roller coaster.

Friend you and I are not guaranteed another second much less a day. Our life is fleeting away fast and if you haven’t already, the time to get things settle about your eternal destination is now. Isaiah 55:6 says, “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:” Now the Lord is not lost but what this scripture is telling us is there will come a time when the Lord’s judgment will come. At that time it will be too late to turn to Him for salvation. This is why Paul shared the importance of getting things settled today, “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2
