WORD FOCUS: FORGETTING THOSE THINGS
TEXT: Philippians 3:13 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,..”

We all go through disappointments, setbacks and things that we don’t understand. Maybe you prayed for a loved one, but didn’t get well. Or maybe you worked hard for a promotion, but didn’t get it. You stood in faith for a relationship, but it didn’t work out. One of the best thing you can do is release it. Let it go. Don’t dwell on it anymore. If you go around wondering why things didn’t work out, all that will do is lead to bitterness, resentment and self-pity. Before long, you’ll be blaming others, blaming yourself, or even God. Mhhhh! You may not understand what happened. It may not have been fair. When you release it, it’s an act of your faith. You’re saying, “God, I trust You. I know You’re in control. Even though it didn’t work out my way, You said, ‘All things are going to work together for my good.’ So I believe You still have something good in my future.”

There is power in letting go of the past and the frustration of trying to figure everything out. Also when you put your hope in God, that’s when He can heal your heart and lead you forward into victory. Lord Jesus, I receive the resurrection power to let go of past, unpleasant, painful situations. I confess my faults and receive forgiveness to walk in God’s newness of wisdom, peace, and acknowledging You in all my ways to direct my paths for a great future ahead Amen.
