Ecclesiastes 7:10 (NIV)
Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”
For it is not wise to ask such questions.
Sometimes in the midst of how evil seems to be on such a rapid pace I will hear people refer to the “good ole days”. We can all reach into our past of sweet memories and enjoy them but we need to be careful to remember that things are continually changing around us. No matter how hard we try it would be impossible for us to go back to our past. Yes, we will always have fond and sweet memories of our life, and God has blessed us with such a life. Yet our God desires that we keep moving forward with His plan burning within our hearts. That God given plan within our hearts will be the vision before our eyes.
“…but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—
to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. ”
Philippians 3:13 The Message
