Never look back. Always go right ahead. Even if you are quaking, go right ahead. Jesus said the man who puts his hand to the plow and then turns back, is not worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven. He also said: Remember Lot’s wife (Luke 17:32).
No matter how unattractive or how dangerous the road ahead may be, it is better than the road back. The road ahead may be veiled from sight – but you must teach yourself to regard the unknown as friendly. Remember that God is always on the road ahead.
…cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee (Psalm 143:8).
Of course, the statement above assumes right actions. Those activities which are good, God-centered and positive. That does not mean we should never look back when engaged in bad behavior. In fact, the quicker we turn back from such thoughts, words and deeds, the better.
On the other hand, when our course is plotted according to God’s will in our lives, we should not second guess it and should not quit moving forward. And be sure of this, God’s course will pass through every manner of obstacle and challenge as it is traveled. The Adversary does not want us to travel the path of freedom from sin and guilt. So. when the evil one whispers in your ear that, “This path is too hard, turn back, there is an easier way”, say to him “Get thee behind me Satan, for I live and travel by every word of the living God”. Then move ahead.
For ahead lies the paradise God created for us here and forever in Heaven. It is there for every single child of God who perseveres, trusts God and never quits.
On course,
Z gardener
