Don't look back!

… looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith…
--Hebrews 12:2
When you're running the race God has set before you, there's one place you don't want to run t back to your old life!
Now, the devil will try his hardest to lure you back there. And he'll say, "Remember how much fun you used to have back then?"
Of course, he won't remind you of the bad times, like when you were out of control or embarrassing yourself. Nor does he remind you of how miserable and empty you were, or how filled with sin you were.
But don't give in! Don't let the devil take you back there. Remember, you are not running this race alone. And you are not running in your own strength! You've been given spiritual power to help you overcome.
And if today, you're tempted to go back to your old ways, the apostle Paul tells you to "look to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of your faith."
That's because what God starts in you, he will finish in you! In Philippians 1:6, the apostle Paul wrote, "And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."
So keep your eyes on Jesus! There's nothing in your old life that is better than him. Never take your eyes off of him!
KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS. NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF OF HIM!

OUR THANKS TO YOU!
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
