The Blessing of Forgetfulness
“Learn from the past, past hurts and disappointments but move on from them. I heard a message by Jon Courson of Calvary Chapel on this topic and it has stuck with me. It came to mind yesterday when I was thinking about what to share today.

Philippians 3:12-14 – Paul says
Not that I have already attained,[a] or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have [b]apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

We all have things in our past that can be hangups for us. People that have hurt us in the past, times of bitter trials, times of disappointment. I think we need to forget about the wrongs we have suffered. We actually deserve much worse than has happened to us. We deserve God’s wrath for our wrongs against him, but as Christians we receive his mercy instead. Be determined to forget about things that will cause you to develop a grudge. Also, the Bilble tells us that for the Christian, God remembers our sins and iniquities no more. Don’t let your past sin bring down your future. Yes, repent and learn but you are forgiven and free in Christ, let that truth bring you joy. Satan is the accuser that temps us to despair in our past sins. Reject Satan and trust in your salvation through Christ. Be a forgetter and leave the past behind.

raamdev.com/2021/one-percent/#:~:text=15%20minutes%20%3D%201%25%20of%20your%20day

You’ve just worked hard for 3% of your day.
45 minutes.
– Are you owning and making the most of the 3% of your day that you’re investing in with F3?
– If this is one of the hardest things you do all day, what does the other 97% look like?

We just worked hard over 3 consecutive 1% time periods (15 minutes).

15 minutes is just 1% of your day. Here’s a neat formula I’ve heard over the years on how to maximize just 1% of your day, every day.
– Silence for 5 minutes
– The world is loud. Cultivate a rhythm or unplugged silence.
– Reflect for 5 minutes
– What’s going on up there (head) and in here (heart)? Cultivate a rhythm of reflection.
– Pray for 5 minutes
– Prayer is plugging into the source of life by talking with God. Cultivate a rhythm of conversation with your Creator.

This month, billions of people around the world will celebrate the birth of a Jewish baby in a town in a land that they don’t think Jews lived in before 1948.

The current conflict (and past and future ones) were foretold in Genesis to Abraham by God. He promised that the decedents of his 2 sons would fight until the end times.
