New Year
As I am sitting here writing this, I am amazed as to how fast the year has passed. I remember my parents telling me how the years would go by faster the older you get. They were right. In the last few years before my father’s death, he would tell me don’t get old. I would laugh and say that’s not possible. We all have a set time to physically die.
I’ve asked God to help me live this year and all the remaining year’s I have left differently. So often I find myself looking back more and more into my past. I find myself getting bogged down about things that I could never change. Why did I do all these things wrong? Why did I make those bad decisions?
Romans 8:28 reads- “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose.”I plan on living the rest of my life looking forward. When past thoughts come to distract my mind, I need to remember 1 John 4:4- “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” Satan will do everything in his power to distract us. The years do go by faster. That’s why we need to stay focused on everything we can do for God.
Philippians 3:13-14 reads- “13. 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 ahead. 14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” I pray God keeps us focused and looking ahead for the remaining years of our lives.
