The Cross Over

“Now you and all the people prepare to cross over…” (Joshua 1.2 HCSB)

The cross over is that place of change, transition or movement from one place to another.

Crossing over requires faith, strength and courage.

Change can be unsettling, but it’s no time to curl up in a ball and wish for the “good ol’ days”.

If you live with the belief that your best days are behind you—you will inevitably be pulled backwards.

If you live with the belief your best days are still before you—you push forward.

We use bridges to cross over—moving from one place to another, from where we’ve been to where we’re going.

Bridges aren’t destinations, they are cross over points.

There are no U-turns on bridges.

You can’t drive backwards when you’re on a bridge.

Bridges in large cities often have tow trucks on either side, ready to quickly tow stalled vehicles from the bridge.

In life, we must move ahead, press on, push forward… cross over.

Here’s how the Apostle Paul said it: “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on… forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. I press on toward the goal…” (Philippians 3.12-14 NKJV).

Never get stuck!

Keep learning, growing and changing.

Your best days are ahead—not behind you.
