How to Get Past the Pain of the Past
March 22
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
A traveler was driving down old Route 66, the very first major highway that could take you from Chicago to the West Coast of the U.S. He stopped at one of those little tourist trap towns along the way, and started talking to one of the workers at a souvenir shop.
“You know,” the worker said, “this town is very famous.”
The man looked around at the desolate ghost town around him and said, “Really? What makes this place so famous?”
The worker looked at him and said, “Well, you can start from right here and go anywhere you want!”
Now, that's true about today. You can start right where you are at this very moment and go anywhere God takes you. Each day is the beginning of a brand new day when you put your path into God’s hands.
There are many people who choose to retreat and regress into the pain of yesterday because they’re controlled by their fear instead of by God’s guidance. But when we trust God with our future, we can be sure He’ll move us onward and upward in living for His glory!
MOVE ONWARD AND UPWARD WITH GOD NOT BY LIVING IN PAST PAIN, BUT BY PLACING YOUR FUTURE IN HIS HANDS!

The message of Christmas is the message of the cradle, the cross, and the crown. The cradle because God became a man in Christ. But the wood of the cradle touches the wood of the cross, where that man died for the forgiveness of our sins.

These humble, lowly men had jobs that kept them away from their families, and were essentially nomadic as they followed their flocks around day and night. It was a lonely, poor life… a humble audience for the very first Christmas carol ever sung.

I appeal to you, brothers... that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you (1 Cor. 1:10). I think we can safely say Black Friday is usually not marked by a spirit of Christian unity, even though it’s supposed to kick off the Christmas season.

Several years ago, the Lord really impressed upon me that I was too consumed with ministry. Like any job, ministry can become such a part of your life that it starts to become and idol. And chief among the things that were being sacrificed to that idol was my marriage.
