God doesn’t want us to be looking back, nor going through life looking in the rearview mirror. And no matter how much we look back, we can’t help ourselves. Many times, we remember all of the hurts of our past and mistakes we’ve made.

But now It’s time to start looking ahead and focus on what we have ahead of us. God wants to do a new thing in our lives. He wants us to rise up to our full potential we have in Him. He has called us to do mighty things. He’ll even make a way when we feel lost and refresh us when we’re burning in the heat.

No matter what we face or are currently facing, we have to keep moving forward. It’s only when we move forward that we can ever accomplish what God has called us to. We can’t stay where we’re at, nor can we go backwards. The only direction we can go and must go is forward. I agree, yes, it can be hard—but that is the only way if we want to move on in God and grow.

Don’t be afraid to move,
What was before, now has gone—
God wants to accomplish so much more in your lives,
But we need to move forward in the Lord.
