Brenda was weeping as we drove away from our cabin on Beaver Lake to assume our duties as pastors of Gateway Church in Shreveport. Turning to me she asked, “Why aren’t you crying?” Gently I replied, “You’re grieving what we are leaving while I’m looking forward to what lies ahead.” Are you looking back, grieving what you have lost or are you looking ahead in faith, anticipating what God is going to do?
“But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.”
— Genesis 19:26
Lord Jesus, grant us the courage and the faith to embrace the future that You have prepared regardless of what it may be. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
