SUNDAY INSPIRATION and PRAYER

Bible Verse for January 2nd.

I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.

Philippians 3:13 NLT Bible

Once again, a new year has dawned and it’s one of new beginnings, brimming with possibilities. However, we need to remember that the past year is gone and there’s no need to dwell on it. For some of us, it may have been a year that was fraught with sickness, grief, financial pressures, broken relationships, betrayal and much more. We may have ignored good advice, made wrong decisions, did things our own way and created problems for ourselves and others. The time has come to put the past behind us and move forward. We don’t need to mentally rehash and replay all the painful events of the past year. It’s time to forget the past, to avoid looking back and focus on what lies ahead.

We can build on the good things, learn from our mistakes and failures and forge ahead with help and strength from God. There is so much that God wants us to do and constantly looking back at the past will hinder us from achieving this. We’re here to be of service to Him and so, we must keep pressing forward and pursuing all that He wants us to do. As we embrace this New Year, we need to focus on this one thing and that is to forget the past and eagerly look forward to what lies ahead. My wish is that this will be a year filled with peace, good health and happiness for all and that we would enter into a deeper and richer relationship with Almighty God.

Thank you Lord for the opportunity to embrace another year. Help me not to look back at the past but to look forward to what’s ahead of me. May I daily honour and glorify You in all I say and do. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
