"Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14 ESV)
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." (2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV)
Do you know what memory recall is? That's where the devil keeps bringing up your past.
There are things in everyone's past that they aren't happy about. I have things I am not happy about. But it's in the past. The past is over, done, and gone. Why worry about now? Worrying about the past will only cause you grief and maybe ulcers. You can't change it, so let it go. God wants us focused on Him. He wants our undivided attention. Not scattered thoughts, random thoughts distracting us from Him.
The world is full of distractions, just waiting to catch us and take our focus off God. Memory recall is a nasty little demon that waits for the opportunity to bring up past thoughts or actions. Break agreement with it. We don't need that distraction. God is just waiting for us to get our focus where it needs to be. He wants us free, not fearful or anxious. Not angry or upset.
Let's break agreement with memory recall right now. Don't let it bring up the bad memories. Just think about all the good things in your life. And keep your focus on God. When memory recall tries to rear its ugly head, tell it to go. You are a blood bought child of God.
Have a blessed day, everyone.
