Looking Forward

So much has happened in the world these past couple of years, it almost feels like life has been on hold. Big life events have happened: our youngest graduated from high school, loved ones have passed, new life has been announced. Yet it still feels like we are on hold in so many ways.

Governments and the main stream media want us living in fear. But God says, Do not be afraid! Yet if I choose to not live in fear, I'm branded as inconsiderate, uninformed, selfish, stupid...

We must remember that God IS still in control. He wants us to look forward, not dwell on the past. He also wants us to stop living in fear, so much so that you could read a "Do not be afraid" verse EVERY day ALL year.

 


It's time for all of us to stop being afraid. To stop living in the past. To start looking forward. We don't know what the future brings, but God is there and He has it under control. So the next time something like virus numbers get you down, just stop and remember who is in control. It's not the governments, or the doctors, or the media who know what is best, it is GOD.

UPWARD & ONWARD!

Isaiah 43:18-19

“Forget the former things;
    do not dwell on the past.
 See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.
