Forget Focus Forward

DAY 2 OF 5

To move forward, you have to first forget.

You have to let go of something: your past.

This is a new day, a new month, and a new year. You can’t CARRY want God wants you to CARRY right now, as long as you’re holding on to what God wanted you to lay down last year!

Many of you may be in disagreement with this concept.

Many may be reading this and saying, “David, that all sounds good, but you don’t know what I went through last year!”

You’re right, I don’t. I don’t know what last year looked like for you. I don’t know what last month looked like for you, and I don’t know the challenges that you will face today.

But I do know that God is not at a loss for words. He’s not shocked by the year you had nor is He particularly worried about what will happen in your life this year. He already knows!

So do NOT get discouraged; that cutback season is all a part of the process. It’s preparing you for new growth. Just as a gardener trims back dead leaves, God adds and takes away pieces of our life that so we can continue to flourish!

Be deliberate as you move into this new season of your life. Don’t pick up baggage that you laid down in the past.

Forget them.

Past transgressions.

Past failures.

Past triumphs.

It’s time to let go, so that you can move on to greater things.

Don’t put your trust on your own doing, but instead put your trust in the only one who saw all of this coming long before!
