STRAIGHT AHEAD.....


Do you know why a car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the rear view mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. 

So, look ahead and move on.

"Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. Watch the path of your feet And all your ways will be established. Do not turn to the right nor to the left; Turn your foot from evil" (Prov. 4:24-27).

The man without a forward purpose is like a ship without a rudder. What makes life complicated is multiplicity of motives. What makes like victorious is singleness of motive. And as Spurgeon remarked, "Spiritual life depends on the purposes we cherish." 

Has any Christian been more focused than the Apostle Paul. He declared, "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
