Toward The Mark

Good Morning,
 
Monday morning is a time to look forward.  We are never to look back except for a brief time to praise Jesus for His mercy and grace that saved us.  A. W. Tozer put it this way.
 
It is one of the devil's oldest tricks to discourage Christian believers by causing them to look back at what they once were. It is indeed the enemy of our souls who makes us forget that we are never at the end of God's love. No one will make progress with God until the eyes are lifted to the faithfulness of God and we stop looking at ourselves! Our instructions in the New Testament all add up to the necessity of looking forward in faith-and not spending our time looking back or just looking within. Brethren, our Lord is more than able to take care of our past. He pardons instantly and forgives completely, and his blood makes us worthy! The goodness of God is infinitely more wonderful than we will ever be able to comprehend. If the "root of the matter" is in you and you are born again, God is prepared to start with you where you are.
 
God bless, have a GREAT MONDAY, and keep in mind throughout this day that you are loved!!!

Henry
