Look Straight Ahead
Today's Devotional Reading: 2 Sam 3; 1 Chr. 12; Mt. 15
April 28, 2010
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you"
(Proverbs 4:25)
TODAY'S WORD
,what are you looking at today? I don't mean in the natural,
but in the
spiritual. What is in the forefront of your mind and heart? Are you
constantly dwelling on your problems or things that have happened in
your past? In the natural, you will move in the direction that your eyes
are looking. In the spiritual, it works the same way. Whatever you
focus your mind and heart on, you will move toward. That's why this
verse tells us to look straight ahead. If you are constantly dwelling on
your problems or things in your past, wondering "what if", then you
will stay right where you are. But if you choose to forgive and release
the past, then you can focus on what is ahead of you, and you'll begin
to move forward. God doesn't want you to live in the past. He wants you
to meditate on His goodness and believe His promises so that you can
keep growing. God is a creative God, and He has designed a wonderful
future for you. Look straight ahead so you can see it and move forward
into the life of victory God has promised!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, today I set my focus on You.
I choose to forget the past by forgiving others so that I can look
straight ahead to Your promises. I ask that You direct my heart on the
path of life that You have for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

We sure love you!
