Have you ever been facing north on a southbound train? I have, and it’s pretty strange. From my seat, I could see where I had been, but not where I was going. All I could perceive was what had already passed me. You know a lot of people sit just like that through their Christian lives. They are so fixated on their history that they forget to look for their destiny.

Destiny is something you have to fight for because it’s so much better than your history. Some folks get saved and think that’s it – they’re in and nothing can throw them back out the door.

That might be true, but the problem with that thinking is that you never experience a rich and full life. You never touch others or testify to the love of God so that someone else can be saved. You see, getting saved is the starting point, not the finish line!

Turn your chair from looking at what is behind the train to what is in front of it! Your fight is not for what used to be, but serves as the footing for your bold leap forward into what God is telling you that you can be.

You know what He has for you is not in your past. So go ahead. Take a bite of goodness and move forward.

“Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”  Psalm 34:8
