Looking Back

Jay Forrest

And Jesus said unto him, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).
You have said "yes." You have accepted the job offer. Now is not the time to doubt. Now is not the time to be "looking back."

No job is perfect, and no job is really secure. Security is found only in God. Stop looking for it in the outside world.

Doubts after decisions are devils trying to sabotage your new job, your new adventure. Put both hands to the plow and don't look back. It is too late to question, too late to second guess. Plow forward. Move ahead.

It is good, sometimes, to close the book on a past chapter of your life. Indeed, we should be "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead" (Philippians 3:13).
