Luke 9:62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
The Kingdom of God is constantly moving forward. Many times we as believers allow the situations and circumstances of life to pull our focus away from the plans of God. When this happens, the momentum of the Kingdom slows down and for some even comes to a screeching halt. Many times we let our past dictate our future. As a result our attention and focus take a detour from the path that the Lord has laid out for us. We in turn follow our minds and hearts only to end up going in the wrong direction or no direction in the things of the "Kingdom of God". Let me give you an example. When you are driving a car normally you look in the direction that you are driving to avoid a wreck or any other bad situation. If you constantly keep focused on what is in your rearview mirror, you won't notice what is in front of you or what is"in your future".
If you drive forward while still looking behind you, you could miss an opportunity or even have a wreck. Don't stay focused on what is behind you. What God has in front of you is more important, and He has already told you to forget the past. Keep going forward. Look unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith. Pray for things in your future to position you for success. Ask God for discernment to recognize the direction of the Lord. Obey swiftly as the Holy Spirit instructs you. If you will follow God's ways, you can't fail.
