The Lord doesn't like it when I dig in my past. "But Lot's wife looked back, and she was turned into a pillar of salt." Gen. 19:26. We are to forgive always and live in the present. That is not to say that we shouldn't learn from the past, just that we shouldn't live there :) The Lord wanted me to print this for some reason....so I did.
Utterly Thine O Lord
Lord, teach us to always look at you, for you are the Eternal Present. I thank you and praise you, O Lord, for this precious gift! Amen
Good post! Maybe God wanted you to post this for me! It's been a big struggle of mine, but the more I work at it, the easier it becomes to let go of the past and live in the gift of the present time. Like all things, practice makes perfect ( I hope! :) )
ReplyDeleteMary, interesting anaology with comparison of looking in your past. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post about Lot's wife. For the past several months many unfortunate circumstances have come to me. I find myself worrying and reliving the unfortunate circumstances saying "what if". Early this morning I was awakened with the thought of Lot's wife. I believe the Lord reminded me of the distruction caused by looking back. I thank you for your post. Just another reminder that following the Lord will always bring good.
