When you are on an excursion or
vacation to see and important place or witness events, you probably pay
attention to the guide and move on as he/she directs the path.
Just as the above we should be
patient enough to listen and move on in life when we are been directed by God.
Never look back when things become difficult.
Sometimes as believers we wonder
why bad people prosper in Life while the righteous go through so many
tribulations. But God has assured us that He will NEVER let evil go unchecked.
The Lord commanded father Abraham
to move out from this father’s house and go to a land He will give to his
descendents. Abraham never looked back but obeyed God and He was blessed.
Looking back at the things you
will loose sometimes put God plans on hold. Genesis 19: 26 say But
Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. She might be
thinking about the wealth and fortune left behind forgetting that God is the
provider of human needs.
Adversity
prepares us for what God has ahead. God’s people will be better off eternally
because they suffered temporarily. The tradeoff in eternity will bear this out.
The
Israelites were complaining to Moses that he should allow them to return to
Egypt because of the challenges they were facing. They forgot God was with them
and He was directing them to a promise land full of wealth.
Our
troubles won’t last forever. As 2 Corinthians 4:17 says, “For our present
troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory
that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!”
Despite the worst tragedy, God can
bring good out of bad. That doesn’t mean He makes bad things good. But it does
mean that despite bad things, He can bring good.
Ultimately,
all things work together for good. You might have been disappointed at your job
place, relationships or career. But God says Never Look Back or you might
become a pillar of salt!
