Keep Moving Forward

It's easy to continue toward the goal, to keep striving for the prize, when you are having success along the way. That's why the enemy of your soul tries so hard to defeat you at every turn. What he really wants to do is to discourage your progress, to get you so bound in a sense of defeat that you throw in the towel.

Of course, the LORD will often guide HIS people from error by allowing them to experience negative occurrences in the place of sin, but HIS WORD that cannot fail and cannot lie assures, "All things work together for the good of those who love the LORD and who are called according to HIS purposes."

In other words, your lack of success, if you are a believer in CHRIST, is toward the end that you gain what the SAVIOR desires you to possess rather than merely what you think you need.

We are told to "praise GOD continually." That means in the good times and in the bad times, the fruit of our lips should be extolling the glory of the ONE who died to set us free. If we will praise HIM --always-- HE is given the latitude to always be working for our good.

With the assurance that HIS purposes for us are beneficial, we are able to go forward. Even when our immediate plans seem to be thwarted; we are able to progress toward HIS goals, even when our goals seem to be unattainable, we are able to maintain our momentum because we are confident that we can certainly achieve every good thing HE desires us to have.

No matter what comes your way don't stop moving forward.
