Does God want you to focus on your past? No
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
God doesn’t want you to look back and focus on your past. The good or the bad. He doesn’t even want you to focus on your past sins.
12 For I will forgive their wrongdoing, and I will never again remember their sins.
How many hear have something in your past that God just did something amazing or maybe a miracle? All of us.
Do you know God doesn’t even want you to focus on what He has done in the past?

18 “Do not remember the past events, pay no attention to things of old.
Isaiah 43:18
If you look at the few verses leading up to this, you will see that the prophet is pointing out how God saved his people in the past. The great exodus.
19 Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.
Our future will involve God doing a new and creative thing that will far surpass anything accomplished in the past.
Don’t focus on the good old days. Be expectant of new wonderful days!
It doesn’t start at midnight. It starts right now.
Are you ready for communion?
