God is a God of new things. He is always doing something great and new. Sometimes we miss it because we are not moving forward but living in the past. Remembering the “good ole’ days” and looking back are for those who have no vision for the future. Can we learn from yesterday? Absolutely. We had better learn from yesterday. If we don’t we will squander the experiences, trials and victories God has blessed us with. But learn from them is what we do, not live in them. God is always moving forward and so should we.
The lepers that sat at the gate of the city in the Prophet Elisha’s day learned great lessons about looking back and longing for what “was” back then and we must learn those lessons as well. Instead of wallowing in self-pity and self-loathing seek the reason to move forward because you can always find a reason not to move forward. They also realized that God was already working on their behalf when they got to the camp of their enemy and God had already routed them and blessed the leper with the spoils of the camp before they ever arrived. They learned a valuable and life-giving lesson we all need to adhere to. They learned that God’s blessings on and in our life are not solely for us. Never make the assumption that what God gives you is for your own consumption but to be a conduit that His blessing can flow through. When we learn these lessons, and apply them to our lives we will then move forward with no reasons to look back.
