--Vision Set--

so many time we can never move foward in life because of poor decisions we have made in the past. for some reason those choices can't let us go,or better yet we won't let go of those choices.

in the book of philippians 3:13,14 it says...forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. i press on toward the goal to win the prize which God has called me...

see God has promised you greatness,promised you life and not death,blessings not cursings. but we can't get pass our past.

here's an example:when you get into a car, you have a windshield in front of you. it's big and let's you see where you want to go or anything that might be in your way to harm you. but you also have a much small rear view mirror that shows you everything in the back that you have already passed. the reason why the rear view mirror is smaller then the windshield is because whats in the back is not near as important as whats ahead.

same goes for your future and your past, all that you've done in the past can not compare to what God has prepard for your future. so where is your vision set,on the windshield in front or the rear view mirror towards the back?

we are products of our past but we don't have to be prisoners of it. no matter how bad or stupid our choices have been, God specializes in giving us fresh starts.
