Forgetting what is behind

and straining toward what is ahead,

I press on toward the goal to win the prize

for which God has called me heavenward

in Christ Jesus

Philippians 3:14

the subject for today is:

New things

Dear Friends,

Our past can be a hindrance or a help in our moving toward the purposes God has for each of us. For some, the past has meant pain and heartache which requires grace to not let our past dictate our responses to the future.

·         If we let our past make us a victim, then we have not entered into the grace that God has for each of us.

·         If we live on memories of past successes and fail to raise our vision for new things we again become victims of our past.

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland" (Isa.43:19). Our past should only be viewed for what we can learn from it. We must move forward and avoid viewing the negative or the positive for any more than what we can learn.

Many a person has allowed their past to dictate their future.

God is always about doing new things in our lives. He gives fresh revelation of His purposes in our lives.

·         Do not live in the past.

·         Do not hold onto bitterness that may hinder God doing new and exciting things in your life.

He turns our wastelands into streams of water to give life, not death.

·         How have you viewed your past?

·         Has it hindered you in some areas of your life?

·         Have you relied on past successes to dictate what you will do in the future?

Put aside such thoughts and allow God to do a new thing in your life.

Ask Him to help you see the new things He wants to do in and through you today.

"When your memories are bigger than your dreams, you're headed for the grave."

Support our Internet Ministry!

Are you every day looking forward to receive "Daily Bread"?  Do you like to browse in the by now tens of thousands WebPages, or do you like the conversations in the forums? Than this is for you !

A big interactive site with over 10 domains, news systems, newsletters, forums, web- polls, etc. pity enough costs a lot of money.

The reason why we although we have to live on social welfare, still do this, is because we are sure that hundreds of people are blessed by what we are doing on the internet. It is not by accident that we had now already over half a million visitors on our sites.

To do this all we are completely depending on God’s grace, and because of your donations we can afford to continue. Therefore we also ask you to see if you could help us to keep this internet activity alive. Thanks in advance for your support!

Incase you like to support financially your donations can be sent to:
