DO NOT RUN AWAY FROM YOUR PAST
Know today that I do not speak with your children, who have not known and who have not seen the chastening of the Lord your God, His greatness and His mighty hand and His outstretched arm—

We need to embrace the experiences of our lives, the good ones, and the bad ones, the happy ones, and the sad ones. Because of pain, many people ignore, discount, or resent their past.
“Know today that I do not speak with your children, who have not known and who have not seen the chastening of the Lord your God, His greatness and His mighty hand and His outstretched arm” (Deuteronomy 11:2)
When we stop running from a painful past, God can use every experience in our lives for His good. Maybe our parents were not the best; perhaps we did not make the best decisions for our lives; maybe we were not the most successful at business.
So what? They are our experiences. They made us who we are. Do not deny them; build on them.
Remember today what you have learned about the Lord through your experiences with Him. The best way to remember the lessons and experiences of our lives is how we overcame the odds and God got us where we are today.
We need to remember what we have learned about God. That way, when we face hard times, we can be encouraged and know that God is still working for our good.
Will you turn your past over to God today so He can use it for His good?
Heavenly Father, I will remember what I have learned about You. I know when I face a hard time, I will be encouraged and know that You are still working for my good. I will listen to Your Holy Spirit and keep my mind renewed daily with Your Word. Thank You for a fruitful life in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
