The Lord is everlasting!!! GOD IS ENTERNAL he doesn't operate in time but I guarantee you he wouldn't want us to dwell in or own the past or put to much thought in the future without him! He wants us to have a vision for where we should go In fact his vision is the vision we should focus on. Besides God has all our past, and future cared for and covered but our focus is on the now!!! God has that covered too.
In....Matthew 6:34 KJV Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Meaning God had us covered we don't need to be anxious or filled with doubt. Fear and worry.
Earlier in the scriptures of Matthew 6 God points out that he cares for the birds and nature and we are much more important than them and they don't contribute to their own well-being so how much more will he care for us. So it's all about having faith in God so we can have freedom in the now.
Mat 6:25-34 KJV
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
We eat to live not live to eat! We don't live to be clothed God covers us while we yet live, so enough of worshiping material things. Where your treasure is your heart will be also. So store up your treasures with the Lord in heavenly places where no corruption or destruction can damage them. Your treasures are what aligns with God's vision for you not a handbag or new shoes. Not that God doesn't what us to have those things it's our heart, our spirit and our soul he wants. He wants our obedience, our sacrifice, our love, our faith and trust those are true treasures. Confidence in him not your worldly possessions you can't take them with you but you can live your life for and with the Lord now and later or not, it really is your choice. But he told us that your life is more than worrying about what you will consume to satisfy the flesh and what you put on to make you feel good and look good and impress others.
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
We also need to know that our past can affect our present and our future if we don't allow God to through the Holy Spirit filter out what has happened to us in such a way that we are not continuing to be a victim to situations and circumstances but in a way of being victorious and tell our story as a testament to how God brought us over. If we do this we will soon learn that as
2Corinthians 5:17-21 KJV
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unt
