Don't forget about the past, but don't live in the past.

We give thanks for what God has done, but we can't remain in the past. The past has gone. We must put it behind us. We must press on into God's future Let us pray for what God will do. Looking back to the past will help us - only if it inspires us to move on with God and for God into His future. Let us rejoice in what the Lord has done for us - and let us be renewed for what he is planning to do in us and through us.

Thank God - for the Holy Spirit.

We thank You, our Father, that You have sent Your Holy Spirit to live in our hearts. We thank You that the new life in the Spirit is just the beginning. You are preparing us for the greater ‘glory that will be revealed in us’(Romans 8:18). We thank You that the Holy Spirit is ‘the guarantee of our inheritance’ - He is the starter which whets our appetite for the main course! With Him in our hearts, we long for more. We long for Your glorious future. We’re not staggering along on a dead-end street. We’re walking tall. We’re travelling with You, Lord. You’re leading us on to Your glory. May we always be led by Your Spirit. May we keep on growing in Your Spirit.
