“Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.” (Heb. 11:1 NLT)
If I could go back into my past and start over, there are several things I would do differently. Yet, I know that this is impossible. I try not to get bogged down in regret and despair.
Looking back can be useful when it is used to formulate the next step forward. Examining the immediate past is often more valuable than reminiscing about previous phases of life. Think back on yesterday or last week--what would you do differently today or this week?
Ask God to point out anything that needs changing. Expect guidance. The Holy Spirit will enable you to move forward in alignment with God’s will. Recalling how God has worked in the past gives us the confidence to hope. Faith leads to trust, and trust brings a blessed assurance that everything is in God’s capable hands.
