God wants us
to remember but not to live in the past. Looking back can sometimes cause you
trouble. Just ask Mrs. Lot! Jesus has called for us to look forward – even in
hard times. Take a look at these Bible verses.
As soon as
they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look
back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you
will be swept away!” - Genesis 19:17
But Lot ’s wife looked back, and she became a
pillar of salt. - Genesis 19:26
The sea looked
and fled, the Jordan
What do I
see? They are terrified, they are retreating, their warriors are defeated. They
flee in haste without looking back, and there is terror on every
side,” declares the LORD. - Jeremiah 46:5
Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the
plow and looks
back is fit for service in the kingdom of God
“Men of Galilee ,” they said, “why do you stand here looking
into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will
come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” - Acts 1:11
Jesus is coming back! What will He find you focusing on?
