When You Think About Your Past

When you think about your past what events do you remember? What memories do you allow to play over and over in your mind? In the Old Testament they had what they called memorial stones. These were used to remind the people about the good things God did in their lives – their victories.

Today, if you’re feeling like God is far from you or that you’re not going to make it through your current situation, you need to remind yourself of when God blessed you in the past. Maybe a complicated time when God just caused everything to fall into place perfectly. Or a divine connection that turned out to be a  best friend or spouse, or someone who put in a good word for you or helped you out of a tough situation.

We’ve all had setbacks but when you meditate on your disappointments and failures it only drains you of valuable energy. It steals your confidence and joy. However, when you focus on your victories it builds your strength and confidence. It feeds your faith. It reminds you to trust God.

I encourage you today to get into the habit of focusing on your victories. Remember, every good and perfect gift comes from your heavenly Father. As you praise and thank Him for His favor and victory in your life He’ll pour out more of His blessing on you. He’ll open up supernatural doors for you to move forward in strength to fulfill the dreams and desires He has placed in your heart!
