Lord, I'm Willing To Move Forward

"You should be more interested in the future than in the past, for that is where you will be spending the rest of your life."

The Apostle Paul said it like this:
Philippians 3:13-15 (KJV) ~ 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 before, 14-I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15a-Let us therefore, as many as be perfect (spiritually mature), be thus minded.

Candidly examine yourself and make a decision today to refresh your stance with God, then move forward.

Delete what's old and unnecessary! Too much thought time is often wasted on "stuff" that SHOULD NOT impact the present or future. Communion with God will reveal exactly what "stuff", but some of it you already know.

Moreover, be not shy to consider the area(s) where you may have been moving slower than appropriate. We sometimes overuse the excuse: "God is still working on me in this area or that one." Well, God works better in areas where we allow Him the most access. Remember, He's the gentle Saviour not a forceful master.

Besides, it only took Him six days to work the whole earth and all its intricacies. Think about that. Only six days! Now, would it really take Him a long time on a single area with the agreement of someone yielded? It is doubtful.

Progress is the result of determined yieldedness. You see, the strength of our yieldedness determines our rate of growth. Of course God knows that we must grow in stages but resistance to Him will only prolong the process.

Keep yielding to God and you'll be further along than you can imagine.

Declare, "Lord, I am now willing to move forward in the areas where I haven't been."

In His Service,

NOTE: It is understood that total and comprehensive spiritual maturing is a lifetime process. Also, "yieldedness" is a word that some preacher probably made up-lol. In the above discourse it means to surrender.

"God will mend a broken heart if you give Him all the pieces." Myrtie Stanton

Scripture ref:
I Peter 5:7 - Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Today, shed the weight of hurtful situations through prayer to God. Let it all out to Him and listen...so that all can be healed by Him.
