“I will not talk of the good ole days, but talk about the horizon (ahead).

Paul says that we are to forget those things which are behind us and press onward. It seems so easy to say, but can very difficult to do. It is easy to find yourself in the middle of a conversation with someone about the things you did, used to do, or something that happened
to you in the past.

The Lord told me to press on and forget the past, to see the horizon before me.
What do you see? Do you see the purpose you were called for ahead of you? Do you see the vision
given to you by the Lord? Take the example from children who set their sights on what they want to be
when they grow up. If they want to be a pilot, then they have airplanes all around them. They put together
model airplanes, buy the ones that fly, read books, and talk about all kinds of airplanes.

Yet, just about the time that some of our brothers and sisters in the Lord, including myself, are reaching
a level of maturity, we find that they begin to talk about things in the past. Why? What is diverting their
attention? Or should I ask, “who” is diverting the attention? If the Lord is saying press on, and the vision
calls forth, then it is our enemy who shows us things past. And he only does it because if he can get us
to look back, we are not looking forward. The enemy fears our obedience to Jesus.

Let us walk in obedience and press on toward His High call on our lives.
