Past Bother You?

Philippians 3:13b
". . . one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind . . ."

Does the memories of past bothered you? Today is halloween and the most favorite tool of Satan is past. Satan is the accuser of the brethren day and night. He used past to haunt us. Think about Paul. If the devil had anything to bring against Paul, he would remembered how he had persecuted the early church and caused the deaths of many, including Stephen, the first Christian martyr.

Paul had done horrible things that were hard for him to forget. But he had such a revelation of God’s awesome forgiveness that he could say, “forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.  My goal is to reach heaven and meet Jesus Christ, the One who called me to Him." Like Paul, you can forget your past, the wrongs you have done and the hurts you have caused others or been through yourself.

Know something? God can take the tears of yesterday and transform them into the miracles of tomorrow. Praise God! Can you believe this? He can restore to you in all abundance what you have lost. He can cause all things, even the painful events of your past, to work together for your good (Romans 8:28). Praise God! I believe it! I received it!

God’s Word says, “The glory of the Lord will protect you from behind” (Isaiah 58:8 NLT). His glory will cover your past. Wherever you go, His glory covers your past. It is no longer the same past that you know of because His glory has came down on your past. It has been wiped out. It is gone! So don’t let your past rob you of today’s joy!

Wow! God . . is so good! . . . God . . is so good! . . . God . . is so good, He is so good . . to me! . . . Remember the favorite song?

May the Lord cover you with the blood of Jesus today!
