Have you ever noticed how much time we can spend living somewhere God never intended us to live?

We live in yesterday, replaying what we did wrong. Then we live in tomorrow, worrying about what might go wrong.

I came across a quote that says:

“No amount of guilt can solve the past. No amount of anxiety can change the future.”

Friend, that’ll preach!

Guilt keeps saying, “If only I could go back.”

Anxiety keeps asking, “What if something goes wrong?”

But faith says, “God was with me then, God is with me now, and God will be with me tomorrow.”

Philippians 3:13 says, “forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.”

You cannot change yesterday, but you can learn from it. You cannot control tomorrow, but you can trust God with it.

If you’ve sinned, confess it, receive God’s forgiveness, learn from it, and move forward.

And if you’re worried about tomorrow, remember what Jesus said in Matthew 6:34: “Take therefore no thought for the morrow.”

God has already given you grace for what is behind you, and He will give you grace for whatever is ahead of you.

So quit allowing yesterday’s guilt to steal today’s joy, and don’t let tomorrow’s worries rob you of today’s peace.

Yesterday is in God’s mercy.

Tomorrow is in God’s hands.

And today is a gift from God.

So live it. Love people. Trust Jesus. And keep moving forward.

The God who carried you yesterday is holding you today, and He’ll already be there when you arrive tomorrow.

Press on, my friend. God’s not finished with you yet!
