THE PAST! What happened in the past?

This is what the Lord says—“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.                         - Isaiah 43:18-19

Father, help me to focus on the new thing! The past is getting smaller and smaller in the rear view window.  I am excited for the road with you that is in front of me.  Thanks for letting me be one of your Wingmen.  All glory, honor and praise are yours. Amen! 

(Christ + Me) = New Creation

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
                                                                                                                       -2 Corinthians 5:17

Father, Teach me, Guide me, Protect me in this new creation gift that you have given me through your Son, Jesus. Amen!

WHAT? I can forgive, but never FORGET! It's not in the BOOK!

“I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.                                                           - Isaiah 43:25

Father, you have forgiven me of my sins through Jesus.  Help me to blot out the sins of others and forgive them as well.  You, Your Word are great.  All thanks and praise be yours.  In your name I pray. Amen!

Pay attention to the Red Words, it is from Jesus!

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.' - Luke 4:8
