Don't Look Back

When I was a little girl my grandmother would tell me stories about her high school days. When I was in high school she told me stories about her high school days. When I was a young married my grandmother told me stories about her high school days. At some point I began to realize my grandmother somewhat lived in the past. (Don't get me wrong, she was my best friend and I loved her dearly.) It made me sad for her though that high school seemed to be a peak in her worldly existence.

As Christians many people never grow and become adults in their faith. They want to believe that they can just go back to their old way of life and it was great to become a Christian, and wasn't that quite an experienc. I Peter 1:13-15(NIV) says this: Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be self controlled, set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who call you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."

We do not have a calling to live in our past life, we have been called out of it to repent, be saved and do the work Christ has asked of us. It is impossible to prepare your mind for action if you don't know where to look for the answers.

God has provided all of the answers in the sword of the Spirit, God's holy Word. The Word is the truth of Jesus Christ. Open your Bible today and find His revelations to you that you may be holy in him.
