"One Thing I Do, Forgetting What Lies Behind And Straining Forward To What Lies Ahead" (Philippians 3:13) Firstly we require the attitude of letting go of the old. There are people who are adamant about holding on to the past. Many things have happened to us in the last year that caused us pain, guilt and regret. We have a store of unhappy and unholy memories. Absolutely nothing good can come out of keeping alive the past that is dead. Yet we have a tendency to cling on. to this past. We end up then living our life from the premises of our past experiences. If this is so, we are incapable of living this Life in the vision that God has for us. Therefore God is offering us the grace at this blessed moment to forget. the past. This precious grace is ours for the taking. But to forget the past we too need to make a deliberate act. of the will. We must decide not to recall the past precisely because God does not want us to. The Lord. God assures us, "Remember not the. former things, nor consider the. things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do. you not perceive it? I will make a. way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." (Isaiah 43:18-19)
