(2nd Part of "GOAL SETTING " Series) H o w o f t e n do we find our- s e l v e s l o o k i n g b a c k e i t h e r l o n g i n g for the good ole d a y s , b e a t - ing ourselves up for past mistakes, or lamenting over not being further along in life than we are? Guilt, loss, fear, doubt, unpreparedness, and even success can keep us stuck in a place that hinders us from progressing and ad- vancing in life. However, we have to shake off the past, and keep moving forward to- ward the next goal that God has assigned to our lives. In fact, I believe the reason our Heavenly Creator designed our bodies with two eyes in front of us, is because he de- sires us to always be moving forward and looking ahead. In Philippians 3:13-14 (CEV), Apostle Paul states, " My friends, I don't feel I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead. I run to- ward the goal, so I can win the prize of being called to heaven. This is the prize God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done." There is a story in the bible about a lady and her family in which Jesus com- mands us to pay attention to. In Luke 17:32 (NLT) he says, "Remember what hap- pened to Lot's wife!" Why is this lady important? Well, her husband Lot was commanded by two angels to get his rela- tives and get out of that city quickly, because of the judg- ment God was about to pro- nounce on the wicked city they were living in. By the mercy of God, the angels even took them by the hand and led them out, because they were moving too slow. However, there was one condition their new life was contingent on: they could not look back at the place that God was tak- ing them from. What do you think she did? Genesis 19:24, 26 (NLT) says, "Lot reached the village just as the sun was rising over the horizon. Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah. But Lot's wife looked back as she was following behind him, and she turned into a pillar of salt." The lesson from Lot's wife is that we must whole- heartedly and obediently walk in the plan of God for our lives; we won't get there by looking backwards. Our focus must be in front of us. PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Lord I give you praise for the plans that you have for my life. They are greater than I could ever imagine. For- give me for settling for less than your best and perfect will for my life. Father, teach me to pursue you with tenac- ity in order to find out your goals and assignments for my life. Help me to keep my eyes straight ahead, and to ignore all sideshow distractions. Give me strength to leave evil in the dust and to never give up on your plans for my life, no matter how hard the road may be. In Jesus' name. Amen." Danyale Patterson would love to hear from you!
