Looking Back

Jay Forrest

And Jesus said to him, "No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for 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 those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are before" (Philippians 3:13).
