Move Forward; Not Backward

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. (Psalm 23:4)

We should thank God when we are going through something. We should thank God when we are in the middle of something. Being in the middle of something simply means what lies ahead is in proportion to what lies behind.

Let’s imagine you have swum to the middle of an ocean. Even though you are tired and want to give up, it will take just as much energy and effort to swim back as it will to swim forward. You know what’s behind you; the good, the bad and the ugly. You might fear to swim forward because of the unknown. That’s where your faith must take over your fear and you should keep moving forward.

Your destiny might be on the other side of that next big wave. However, you will never know it unless you keep swimming forward and not backward.
