We need to have a ‘reaching forward’ attitude. This attitude includes the ability to embrace the new and the things that lie before us. The Bible tells us that God has set before us an open door, but it is no good staring at the door or camping at the door. We have to move through the door into the next thing that God has for us. I have seen people who have camped at an open door of opportunity for so long that when they eventually decide to move through the door, it had closed. We should be asking and keeping on asking, we should be seeking and keeping on seeking, we should be knocking and keeping on knocking and we should be reaching forward and continually reaching forward. Reaching forward or taking ground (possessing) is part of the life God has for you! This applies to all aspects of our lives.
Philippians 3:13one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.
The challenge is to let this become the one thing we do!
THE THINGS THAT ARE AHEAD
What exactly is lying ahead? The answer is we just never know. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Here are however four things:
1. OPEN DOORS!
Revelation 3:8 See! I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut!
2. DIFFERENT THINGS!
Philippians 3:13 one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.
3. NEW THINGS!
Isaiah 43:19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
4. UNLIKELY THINGS!
Isaiah 43:19 I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
