No Looking Back

Why is it that so many times in our lives we look back at the negative things and don't rejoice in the victories?
I find myself in this situation almost daily. I'm always looking back at the things I did wrong and wonder why did I do that. But the reality of it is that we are victorious through Jesus who has brought us out of darkness. The devil will do all that he can to keep you dwelling on the past but guys we are called to stand firm with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, the breastplate of righteousness, and with your feet fitted for the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Also take the shield of faith, helmet of salvations, and the sword of the spirit. This all comes from Ephesians 6:10-19. We have been given these tools from God so lets become courageous and use them!

1 Peter 5:10
10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
We may suffer for a bit and go through a tough season but hes going to make us stronger in our faith. He Grace abounds in each of us! WE just have to press on and allow God to do his work in each of us!
