“Two Days that Will Steal Your Joy”
BY
ADRIAN ROGERS
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but
this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching
forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize
of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 3:13-14
There are two days that can steal your joy and the
fulfillment of today. One is tomorrow and the other is yesterday. Both are days
in which we as Christians should refuse to live.
So many of us have never learned how to separate ourselves
from yesterday. We are still dragging it around with us and it is stealing our
joy. Paul could have lived there in the realm of guilt, but he refused.
Maybe you, like Paul and countless others, have committed
some horrible sins. But friend, what God has called cleaned, let no man call
unclean. If you have confessed that sin and given it to God, it is buried in
the depths. Don’t let it contaminate your day. Learn to live in the present.
