Isaiah 65:17 For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.

It is right and proper to be a good steward with what God allows you to have, but it should not be the focus of your life.

God wants us to remember that we do not take anything with us when we die and trying to build up treasures here on earth is not fulfilling.

God does not want us to get bogged down in the hurt and anger here on earth either but to look forward to the joy and peace we will have in heaven with Him.

Look onward and upward!

Isaiah 43:18 But the Lord says, “Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago.

God does not want us to dwell on the past but rather to look forward to what is ahead and what we can achieve.

If we dwell on the past the sins of our past and all the things we see wrong through God’s law and example will get us down. We will only see ourselves as the wretched sinners that we are.

But it is through what Christ has done that we are set free and can live a new life with and in Him alone.

Live your life with Christ and for Him!

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

The most amazing promise for us is that if we believe in Christ then our death with sin has no more hold on us; instead we have a new life in heaven!

I know I often forget just how awesome this statement is when I am happen and content with life, but when I feel down or worried I can gain so much hope and power from this verse.

Christ died on the cross to set us free from our awful death. Yes we still will die physically, but like Christ, we will rise with a new life to be in heaven with God!
