While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18 NKJV
LIVE IN THE HOPES OF THE FUTURE RATHER THAN THE HURTS OF THE PAST.
YOUR PAST SHOULD BE A REFERENCE POINT, NOT A RESIDENCE.
Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins.
Acts 13:38 NLT
2. REMEMBER THE PAST BUT DON’T LIVE IN THE PAST.
And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.
Deuteronomy 8:2 NKJV
3. KEEP YOUR EYES FORWARD AND FOCUSED ON THE ETERNAL PRIZE.
Philippians 3:13-14 ESV
Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14 ESV
CHOOSE TO LOOK FORWARD WITH PURPOSE.
VICTORY GROUP QUESTIONS:
What does looking for the things not seen mean to you? How does that go with your faith?
Is it hard for you to let go of some things from your past? Does any of that affect your vision of the future? Is it affecting where God wants you to be?
Remembering what God has done for you in the past is great. What are some memories you go back to when storms hit?
In your own words. What do you think the eternal prize is?
