Reaching ahead
Philippians 3:13
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
We decide to either look back or look ahead.
I learned that when plowing especially, the first furrow, to make a straight furrow you have to stay focused straight ahead. If you look back or off to the side your furrow will be crooked. In an engineering class I learned that to draw straight lines with out a straight edge you have to focus on the end point.
When things get off kilter examine where your eyes:focus has been. Looking back really doesn’t help us because it is static and dead. Life and power are ahead of us. Change is only found in front of us.
