Moving Towards A Better Tomorrow

The start of a new year brings a sense of new opportunity and hope for a better tomorrow.

Maybe you’ve been going in circles for a long time.

Maybe 2010 sucked.

Maybe it’s time for you to start moving towards a better tomorrow.

God delivered his people out of slavery in Egypt, through the Red Sea, into the desert—and on their way to the Promised Land.

Unfortunately, they got stuck in the desert for a long time.

Aimless wandering.

Going in circles.

Frustration.

Finally, God told his people it’s time for you to start moving towards a better tomorrow: “You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north…” (Deuteronomy 2.3 NASB).

Here’s the Message paraphrase of that verse; “You’ve been going around in circles in these hills long enough…”

Maybe today you need to hear that same message: “You’ve been going around in circles long enough—and it’s time to start moving towards a better tomorrow.”

We’ve already crossed over from 2010 to 2011.

I say, let the cross over continue…

Let’s keep moving forward, believing for greater days.

I like how the Apostle Paul said it: “I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep running…” (Philippians 3.12 CEV).

It’s pretty simple really—we’re not where we used to be (thank God!), and we haven’t yet arrived… so we keep moving towards a better tomorrow.
