I Won't Look Back

I'm on my way ahead.
I can't look back.
I can see my future staring me in the face.
I won't turn around.
My past is there behind me, but it's calling my name.
My concerns seem to be catching me up.
They are right on my heal as I hurry away to my destiny.
My mistakes, my failure, my past sins, they are nipping at my heels.

I can't look back.
I'm moving ahead!
I won't be like Lot's wife.
In Genesis 19:17 the angels of the Lord told Lot and his family to leave the sinful city of Sodom and Gomorrah, run for their lives and don't look back!
But what did Lot's wife do?
She looked back!
And what happened to her?
Genesis 19:26 says; But Lot's wife looked back as she was following along behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
I guess she wanted to take one more quick look back at her past.
Was it worth it?
No because it cost her her life!
Why look back at your past failures, mistakes, sins and problems?  Look forward to the goal of success!
You can look back from where you came from as you give your testimony of where you are right now!
But do not look back at where you were, basking in the filthy pleasures of your sins!
Press forward, move ahead, your past is just that, the PAST!

Luke 4:8 KJV says; And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Jesus told Satan to get behind Him, where He rightfully belongs!

We should take on this same manner and demand our obstacles, trials and
challenges to get behind us so that we can worship our Lord with our whole heart.
When our past is upon us it is up to us to continue to move on ahead, with our eyes focused on the prize which lies ahead of us, which is to carry out the ultimate plan that God has etched out for our lives.......
