Don't Look Back
December 16
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
— Psalm 30:5
Ecclesiastes 3 tells us there is a time for everything—a time to weep and a time to mourn; a time to laugh and a time to play. You’d be coldhearted and lacking compassion if you experienced loss and felt nothing. But after a while you must let go of what lies behind and press forward. If you don’t, the past will destroy your future.
God said, “Moses My servant is dead. So now arise [take his place], go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them, the Israelites. Every place upon which the sole of your foot shall tread, that have I given to you, as I promised Moses” (Joshua 1:2-3). Like the children of Israel, God wants you to let go of the past and take new ground. Don’t spend the rest of your life mourning something you have lost. Go forward and don’t look back.
