Spiritual Sunday- Move Forward

Move Forward. life is too fast to look behind.

There is an advantage to moving swiftly. You can’t look behind you, your peripheral is blurred. The only thing you have going for you is what is directly in front. You see what kinds of things are getting in your way and you adjust, all the while moving towards the horizon. When you are moving slowly, you see the things to the side of you, you also are able to turn around and look at what was behind.

An interesting thing happens when you look behind you; you are no longer able to wee whats coming up ahead.

Some people get so caught up in the past that they forget where they are going. They keep looking at things as they might have been rather than stand and face their giants today. They live with regret, with remorse, with longing and some even with delusion.

"She Certainly Had Plenty of  Salt for her  pretzels"-
Jeffery R. Holland

Lot had a wife. This was bible times so lot was not the most modern person yet in his case it’s probably ok. Lot lived in the area of Sodom and Gomorrah. Those cities were sinning against God and God was going to destroy the cities. Lot was told to leave Sodom and Gomorrah and was told to not look behind him. Lot took his family and his wife and left the city. As they were leaving, Lot’s wife looked behind her and turned into a pillar of salt. I like to think that the camel wen’t up to the salt pillar that was lots wife and licked it.

Wherever you are headed will always be better than where you left, as long as you look forward. Don’t be one of those people that sit around and only talk about the old times. Always move forward.
