Look Onward To Jesus
Good morning; I am thankful for the day God reached down and delivered me from the sin I once lived in. “And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise take thy wife and they two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city” (Gen 19:15). If you are saved this morning, would you stop for a moment and thank God for sending the Holy Spirit of God to convict you and draw you to Himself? Abraham prayed for Lot that God would spare his life and his family from being destroyed with the sinful city of Sodom and Gomorrah. My friend, we must continue to pray for our loved ones that God would convict them and save them before the destruction of this world occurs. All that you see will one day burn and be destroyed just as Sodom and Gomorrah. But, I want to encourage us this morning; once God has delivered us from a life of sin, don’t look back. “But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt” (v.26). Many folks are trying to walk with God and looking back the whole time. My friend, keep your eyes on Jesus; look straightforward, and as long as you stay focused on Jesus, you can “walk on water”. Father, I pray this morning that we as the people of God, those who have experienced your deliverance from the destruction of this world would not look back to the life of sin, which will end in ruin. But that our focus will be more on where we are going and not where we have been. Be Blessed in Jesus’ Name!
