Let it Go
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.”
(Philippians 3:13, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

It’s easy to go through life focused on what didn’t work out, who hurt us, or the mistakes we’ve made. “If only I would have finished college. If only I would have spent more time with my children. If only that company wouldn’t have laid me off after 20 years. That’s just not right.”

As long as you’re living in regret, focused on the negative things of the past, it’s going to keep you from the bright future God has in store. You’ve got to let go of what didn’t work out. Let go of the hurts and pain. Let go of your disappointments and failures. You can’t do anything about the past, but you can do something about right now. Whether it happened 20 years ago or 20 minutes ago, let it go and move forward. If you keep bringing negative baggage from yesterday into today, it will poison your future. You may have had an unfair past, but you don’t have to have an unfair future. You may have gotten off to a rough start in life, but it’s not how you start that matters. It’s how you finish.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, today I choose to let go of past mistakes, failures and setbacks. I choose to set my eyes on You and move boldly into the good future You have prepared for me in Jesus’ name! Amen.

So many times we assume that today will repeat the past, forgetting that God is with us, and the old will not repeat itself unless we choose to continue on in our dis-ease.

We fear the future because we can only envision the past, with no faith and trust in the God of our understanding. When we live a spiritual life, live the spiritual principles, we change and life doesn't always change, but we do and we are better equipped to handle it.
