This is something out of the norm for this board but I thought it would be something good for those looking to start the new year off right!!!
TODAYS SCRIPTURE
Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you (Proverbs 4:25, NIV)
TODAYS WORD from Joel and Victoria
What are you looking at today? Not in the natural, but with your spiritual eyes. In other words, what is in the forefront of your mind and in your heart? Are you constantly dwelling on your problems or things that have happened in your past? In the natural, you will move in the direction that your eyes are looking. In the spiritual, it works the same way. Whatever you focus your mind and heart on, you will move toward. Thats why todays verse tells us to look straight ahead. If you are constantly dwelling on your problems or things in your past, wondering what if, then you will stay right where you are. But if you choose to forgive and release the past, then you can focus on what is ahead of you, and youll begin to move forward.
God doesnt want you to live in the past. He wants you to keep growing and moving forward. Make the decision to meditate on His goodness and focus on His promises. Look straight ahead so you can see His blessing and move forward into the life of victory He has promised you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, today I set my focus on You. I choose to forget the past by forgiving others so that I can look straight ahead to Your promises. I ask that You direct my heart on the path of life that You have for me. In Jesus Name. Amen.
