This One Thing

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"...I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead"
(Philippians 3:13, NLT)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Are you determined to forget the past? I know many people don't fully understand what that means. They wonder, "How can I forget something that's happened to me?" But one definition of the word forget is to disregard intentionally or to overlook. In other words, you have to choose to disregard your past so that it doesn't hold you back. That means the good and the bad. Sometimes our past victories keep us from rising higher as much as our past failures can. If we don't let go of the old, we'll never be able to embrace the new.

It doesn't matter what's happened in your past, it's time to forget what lies behind and make the choice to look forward. Trust that God has a better future in store for you. Trust that He's working behind the scenes on your behalf. Trust that He who promised is faithful — as you forget what lies behind and press forward, you'll experience His power and blessing in a fresh, new way.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, I choose to forget the past today. I don't want anything to hold me back from the good future You have prepared for me. I choose forgiveness and ask that You help me, by Your Spirit, to press forward in every area of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

— Joel & Victoria Osteen

Fw: Eagle BeautifulŠ.from whom we can learn

THE EAGLE This is Amazing...It is no wonder there are scriptural references to the eagle! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did. And, no there is no wonder the bald eagle has such a significant symbolism to our country. What hope…¦!!!! When it rains, most birds head for shelter; the eagle is the only bird that, in order to avoid the rain, starts flying above the clouds... An amazing tidbit about the Eagle's eyesight: The eagle can probably identify a rabbit moving almost a mile away. That means that an eagle flying at an altitude of 1000 feet over open country could spot prey over an area of almost 3 square miles from a fixed position. No wonder God wants us to spread our wings and soar with eagles. God Bless all who share this.

To bring peace to one's family

 

"To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him."
