"And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.' "
Acts 1:10-11
The disciples were closing one chapter and about ready to start a new chapter in their lives. But as they ended this chapter, they were gazing backward – probably thinking of the past 3 ½ years they had been with Jesus, and all the miracles they had seen Him do. But two angels came to redirect their focus to the future. Most people have the same disease – "pastitus." Old people are guilty of living in the past. "When I was a kid...." Remembering the past is good, but living there is not. Instead of talking so much about the "good old days," when I saw such manifestations of God in healings and deliverances, I need to focus instead on what God wants to do NOW and His future return. God is not done with His plan yet.
Today's Thought: The book is not finished; God still has a plan for the future.
Have a "forward looking" day. Love you.
