LET NOT THE PAST FOLLOW YOU
Philipians 3:13_14 "But this one thing I do, Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press towards the mark fore the prize of high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Spiritual Ups and downs, bruises, inner aches and pains that seems endless, most of us know what it means to undergo all these but few of us know what to do about them.
We limp along hoping that one time those hidden wounds and bruises will disappear, but does it ever happen that way? No : I know I have been there" But thank God I am not ther any more.
Over the few past years I have faced some fierce spiritual battles, and I have found out that those battles can leave you bruised and beat up in the inside just as the the fist fighting can leave you bruised and beaten up on the outside.
The healing of the bruises doesn't come so easily that way. the reason is that instead of putting painful failures behind us we often dwell on them until those those failures become real to us than the promises of God. We focus on them until we become bogged down in depression, frozen in our track by the fear that if we go on we will only fail.
There is a way out. If depression has put you into a spiritual nosedive, all you have to do is to get your eyes off the past and unto your future, a future that has been guaranteed by Christ Jesus His great and precious promises in His Word. Do not give the past room in your mind, Meditate on the Word of God. Replace the past with scriptural promises about your future and be diligent about it. Instead of being a wounded soldier, you will become the conquering warrior God made to be
