Looking ahead

All of us have a something in our past that we regret doing. It may have been an honest mistake, a moral failure, or a foolish decision. We wish it had not happened, but it remains in our mind and often drags us down.

“Honey is sweet to your taste; so shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; if you have found it, there is a prospect and your hope will not be cut-off. (Prov. 24:13-14)

While the past remains part of our lives, it doesn’t have to determine our future, with God’s wisdom and the forgiveness we can focus on the future with hope.

The vain regrets of yesterday
Have vanished through God’s pardoning grace;
The guilty fear has passed away,
And joy has come to take its place.

It’s better to look ahead and prepare that to look back and despair.
